what has hastening brought except slipshod half heartedness
when has Honor ever saved you from loneliness
who spells out destiny when none can see the future
why do vile sins like greed go unpunished, unconfessed
when even Logic cannot decide if it has slipped the knot
that can become a wasteland of blind ambition and dishonest intent
while even the apocalypse is not necessarily the end
if you believe actions can be great in small ways
realize that getting free is easier than staying free
remembering when you may sometimes come up short
even Moses never made it to the promise land

I liked this approach. It is full of mind provoking thoughts and pushes against the current of common thought. No Moses never did get to the promised land in this life and we never should either lest we grow in our complacency and stagnate.
