Empire Of Many & One
by Ancestors through UsikuEach time we cosign and admire
The human interpretation of empire
We creep towards domination of blessings
Thus, Rights of Creation lessen
Collective responsibility turns up missing
As we aspire to create something great and lasting
Until advantages begin to vanish
And marginalization runs rampant
Creativity in the name of entertainment
Sensing in the name of religion
Self-esteem in the name of popularity
Thought in the name of education
Conscience in the name of any available weakness Fueled by many slow-cooked evils
Beings simmer until scarred hearts become charred
Floating in self-made dry ash soup Then comes recyclers and redeemers
Seekers of treasures assigned to the meeker
Earth's children keepers
Who sift burnt rubble
Lifting hearts out with no trouble
Holding them to all manner of canvas and cave
Transferring energy like vibration waves
Cycling through transformation transition
Last bits of power now depicting
What not to do this time
A legacy dominating history lessons
Lasting longer than human empires
And the fires that started them
But not the empire that put them all out
