Wish the coveted Moses' staff

Fell into my hands happenstance,

Rise it, and the life of my dreams

Leave my fantasy and paint my reality


I wouldn't set forth an apocalypse,

If it isn't the price peace demands

The Nile would stay blue,

If all humans stay true


I would rise the staff,

Up and above, Over and beyond,

And harmony would be Aether's essence,

Joy would be the overlooking clouds


Pain would be a thing of the past,

Pain would be a ghost not spoken of

No hushed tones to pay homage to the wreck,

Not anymore, when it stays an artifact of time


But, Moses' staff is with us all,

It's in the choice between empathy and apathy,

The weighing scale hoping goodness outweighs the other,

Acts of kindness in an otherwise parched world

It's when suffering is known,

And the sufferer's given a shoulder


Moses' staff awakens,

When one awakens to the miseries of the world.
