Description
A small glistening ball
I used to watch it bounce
I’d catch it in my hands
“It’s mine!” I’d announce

Do you remember that ball?
That we all once shared
The emotions it carried
Fear, hate and care

All day and night
Up and down it would go
Though what it was
We’d never truly know

Do you miss that ball?
That you watched each day?
That spherical orb
Forcefully taken away?

Do you think about it?
Do you reminisce often?
In a world of nostalgia
Where pain is softened

I wonder where it went
Why it disappeared
And why I was in this world
Dominated by fear

That bouncing ball,
That safety blanket,
That guardian angel
I never thanked it

I never knew
What it did for me
But now I realise
It was protecting me

No, not just me
It protected us all
Do you see why?
Why I miss that ball?

Now I’m exposed
To this disease
The illness that is
Modern society

This viral disorder
Relentless infection
It pulls us apart
Inhumane dissection

That ball must be found
For you and I alike
If we are to continue
Sustain future life

The blaring gunfire
The superficial trends
The “do this, do that”
It never ends

For now though
It must seem okay
But we must think
Past the present day

Think of future years
Despite our absence
The world will remain
It doesn’t make sense

The ball is missed
By the government too
One must remember
They once were you

Perhaps once we find
Our lost ball
We can be shielded
Saved from the fall

The fall of man
A baron land
If only we’d held
That ball in our hand

Do you miss it too?
Do you see why?
That ball must be found
For you and I

Perhaps it’s been found
By a general passerby
Who angrily trod on it
Not knowing why

Perhaps its lost
Forever in a void
Never to be retrieved
Gone, destroyed

Persevere we must
No matter what
We must find our ball
Whatever the cost

If it isn’t found
I don’t care to think
How close we can get
To hell’s brink

We’re too close now
We must step back
Make some reforms
Those that we lack

But oh, how scarce
For mankind to care
So I’ve abandoned them
Together we can share

It’s not my fault
The ball was taken away
But I found it again
So again I play

I know I’ll see you
All again once more
But until that time
I have my ball
