The cities that
Cover the earth
Blinking off and on
As the days pass
Seen from space
Could be construe d
As one giant
Scream
In Morse code

Calling out
Across the infinite
For help
Maybe a little direction
Maybe some guidance
But you know that
No one’s coming

There’ll be no answers
At least not of the kind
That you’re going to find
Pleasing
At least not of the kind
That’s going to end well
I don’t think you know just
How close
To the end of the timer
We are

I don’t think you realize
That things are about to change permanently
You’re going to have to be more than you are
You’re going to have to reach down inside yourself
Because I assure you
It might
Make all
The difference
