In the blink of an eye

By Mithiras

In the blink of an eye, everything can change,
Millions may suffer,
Thousands may die,
Hundreds may cry a never ending hymh of sorrow.

In the the blink of an eye, everything can change,
if we all join together we can make it so that millions
Will prosper, thousands are born,
And hundreds no longer morn.

In the blink of an eye, everything can change,
an actor can win an oscar,
someone can win the lottery,
someone could usurp a government,
and many people can pass by someone homeless.

In the blink of an eye, everything can change,
we can give someone a gift,
we can attempt to make someones day,
we can help love and care for each other,
and we can make sure we're all okay.

In the blink of an eye, everything can change,
kingdoms have fallen,
new states have risen and conquered,
a new person has claimed a new God,
people begin a feud to last centuries.

In the blink of an eye, everything can change,
we can protect those around us,
we can aid those who need us,
we can make those likeable to us,
and they can become friends with us.
