Time asks of you and me.

Do you think that we can then
take time out from this world of men.
Consider other things than lust
And how to grind lives into dust?

These days are fueled by want and greed,
 it takes a thousand cuts to bleed.
Corrosive images on screens we place
 that rob our children of their grace.

Men exercise wanton lies
before all nations' tired eyes.
Such paradigms we must shatter,
to honour sacrifices that have mattered.

Time asks of you and of me.
Reject this abysmal conformity.
