Land and Sea (Pink Floyd Tribute V)



This is part 5 in the Dark Side of the Moon series. This is a rewrite of Us and Them...


Land and sea,
Separately co-existent, adjoined contiguously.
You and me,
A wavering consistence of turbulent tranquility.

Rivers arise, to the levees' demise,
The battle is waged between relief and reprise,
Man's castles engaged in deceit and compromise,
Brave efforts denied though many have tried,
To create vesseled bonds between sacrifice and lies.

Rivers and trees,
Innately resistant, blended continuity.
Rise and fall,
Abated persistence in conjoined perpetuity.

Moon and sun,
The end seems near, though its only just begun.
Distance and Time.
Created new standards without reason or rhyme.

Levels recede, governments reply,
Gentle persuasions, discourse minimized.
Forced evacuations, reclamations denied.
White breasted birds fly high in dark skies,
Their purpose gets lost in bureaucratic disguise.

Wither and Wake.
Has government involvement been a help or mistake?
Quiver or Quake?
Will political injustice determine our fate?

Be rest assured, the power of His word,
Will defeat those that seek you and resolve those that hurt..
History reveals that powers that steal,
Reap what they sew, find consequence concealed.
The propensity of Devine indignation is real.

Give and take,
Don't let what's evil keep you awake,
Belief and mistrust,
We all want relief and must readjust.

Fight for your rights,
Seek that you choose,
Shed shackles that bind you,
It's the weak that lose.

Feelings and doubt,
Living in fear is living without.
Water and Air,
Immoral injustice exists everywhere,

Rivers run deep,
Oceans are wide,
An unfettered sleep,
Comes when tension subsides.
