the gatekeeper

in the look of his eyes he had a compus and a time
both were pointed north towards the sun as it shined
tears fell from his eyes as he saw his world fall apart
as the explosions in the sky shook the clouds that moved the wind
the sky started crying in pain
thunderstorms attempted to freeze the pain crying in vein and nothing moved
all of his people were running for cover but it did no good
he asked me "son why dont you run?"
i said "im not running cause i started the wars, and im not running cause they would just follow me."

after it passed a women came walking from the horizon
she had a map of the new world in her eyes
at this point i knew it was time
like lightening flashes of explosions bursting the earths wide
she prevented the attack and raised her hands to the sky
formulating the clouds together she looks at me
and says "son... your world is crashing down."
i replied and said "your running out of time."
she said "time isnt important just life."
right then i knew i would die

everything that breathed grew back and my armies attacked
i fell to my knees and i accepted all that i am
the man and the women approached me
the man whispered into my ear you must live
the women whispered you must live to survive

together the man and women combined themselves into me
and out burst a new world from my soul
they said that all of the good that has ever existed was in me
and that i must live to survive the faces of millions for i am the new world
they gave me all of the keys and said protect us...
if i fail. then all fail. and there would be no home to go to.

the world rests on my shoulders.
