Borrowed Time

You can be here today and gone tomorrow
Causing another's heart to fill with sorrow
We're all living this life on borrowed time
Yet this world's still looking out of its mind

Where does one find peace in the midst of all out war?
Battlefields that we deploy to as we exit our front doors
And these wars are both physical as well as psychological
Emotional healing being given by scripture that's allegorical

Evangelical spiritual upliftment presented by the clergy
Who's trying extremely hard to create positive energy
Attempting to enact synergy among all the people
Why is it so hard for many to see we're all equal?

Will there be a sequel after our clocks stop their tic tocs?
Is that why so many are acting like their brains are a box of rocks?
Will the ignorance ever stop or is that just a pipe dream?
It seems to be the latter because they'd rather have fatter pockets than be a team
