The Sound Of Harmony
by
John William McGrath III
The sound of one hand clapping
The sound of fingers snapping
Sounds of children napping
It is that beyond the breath
It is that beyond our death
It is the sound of a purified heart
It reunites our race, so far apart
The sound of love with it's echo
Drowning out angry puppets falsetto
In need of the creator Gepetto
The devil is pulling their strings
Surrendering their lives for evil things
Not given to their own decisions
But taking another's positions
Rendering horrible conditions
But soon this echo of sound
Will circle round and around
Putting them into the ground
Seeing they've carried it too far
Shamed when they see who they are
