In Alignment

Seek thou grace

From you O Lord

From sufferings and afflictions

As we seek your hand

For none is capable of that

As we stand encompassed

By the bubbles in a bubble bath 

Of forlornness, afflictions and travail

Lacking the will to sail

Seeing all around the equations that prevail 

Leaving one, no longer astound

For the laws are not constant 

And are just food for brains

For displaying a polished persona 

And basking in reciprocal gains

One's indispensability the measure of a premium existence

Is forcing people into a race

Sidelining consistence the elixir of coexistence 

O Lord, help us develop the practical survival instincts Preserving subsistence and not subservience skills

To help one sail through this worldly sea of human existence

Which flourishes on realism

And perishes if fed with idealism

The balance of idealism and realism needs a restoration

If people are to be freed from the doom of isolation
