World Within

Shut not this mind
This eye
This hand
Upon the time
We took
our stand

Though young we were
and fools
and clowns
Still we could have
taken this
whole world down

We broke despondent
on bitter shores
under hazy skies
in the miscarriage
of justice
in tepid little lies

Yet somewhere
those people remain
ready to begin
and try again
and open a new
world within
