Come to the Light Side
The Bright Side
The Right Side.
Come join the Love Side
The Dove Side
Above Side.
Eschew that Hades Hate:
Pretending all is Great;
Lying through your Teeth;
Playing from Beneath;
Adoring gilded Calf.
There is no Seed;
It’s only Chaff.
There is no Rose;
Your Garden’s Weed.
The Path you Chose:
A King sans Clothes.
It’s Long Past the Hour
To Douse the Light
And Worship Brainless Power;
Believe that Might makes Right.
Our Evolutionary Arc
Turned Long Ago away from Dark.
Now we Stand
Upon the Edge;
It’s Razor-Thin;
Will Cut your Skin.
It was not Planned;
No Time to Hedge.
We Must be Brave
And Face our Fate:
Return to Cave;
Or Elevate.
We Green our Land —
Or Decimate.
To Beautify
Or Putrefy?
Tend the Gardens; Build those Spires!
Put out! — don’t Spread those Fires!
We can Use the Help of Everyone.
Lend a Hand; You’ll see it’s Fun.
By Giving you will surely Find
Improving Muscle and your Mind.
By Giving, you’ll Receive the Greatest Gift.
By Stealing, you’ll Create a Rift;
You will Set your Soul Adrift;
You’ll Live a Pointless Life of Grift.
Come to the Light Side
The Bright Side
The Right Side.
Come join the Love Side
The Dove Side
Above Side.
Together we will Make Earth Green;
We will See the Stars Unseen;
We will Feel the Love of All.
We will Whirl & Twirl the Ball
While Dancing on the Razor Rim.
We will Smile & we will Sing,
We will Make the Hillsides Ring.
Every Cup, we’ll Fill to Brim.
Come back Over to the Light.
Come back Over; Truth will Win.
Come back Over; Join with True.
We need Red and White and Blue.
Come back Over; Quit Vain Sin.
Open your Eyes; Restore your Sight.
Come back Over to the Light.
Come back Over to the Light.
Open your Eyes; Restore your Sight.
