In this moment to witness,
As it is and 'now'...
Can not be argued as the most precious.
Or found to debate over it's effectiveness.
In this moment to witness,
As it is and 'now'.
In this moment to witness,
Steps taken to reminisce...
Are often wished to replace,
Mistakes made to erase.
And many look back...
But can't eliminate worries off their faces.
As it is and 'now',
Life is to be lived with the facts accepted.
As it is and 'now',
People should refuse to live exclusively deluded.
In this moment to witness.
And as it is 'now'.
Not a moment lived and given,
Is repeated to delete that which has been done.
Even though decisions are made,
To have those wishes come.
Not a moment lived and given,
Is allowed to schedule for another day.
Not a moment lived and given,
Is borrowed to save!
In this moment to witness,
As it is and 'now'...
Doesn't come to stay.
No matter who decides to look away from it.
