Have you faith in 2025?

 

Foundation.

A creative reflection on hope for the future.

In the ever-growing era of reliance on technology, is belief in something greater than ourselves, diminishing? 

Have you faith in 2025?

(A lone voice whispers)

Even though

The night is mine

Like the doe

Who hides behind the bushes in the nighttime

Every breath you take, every step you make

Call to me to atone, and I will be by your side in a flash 

Before your world turns to ash

To a wonderful land where you're never alone 

But with all your family and beloved friends, as all animals roam free

For I'm also a child, sent to guide

All things in the Ether, which collide 

Even the sinful who have lied, but more so, for those whose souls have cried

Just call to me. 

For faith in something you can't see will constantly try t
