Look Around

Viola, Guardian of Psychics

I see the world around me,
I see the things that grow,
I see the little people,
I see the things they know.
I see the ideas of masters,
I see the bristling thoughts,
I see a new beginning,
I see them being taught.
I see the empty promises,
I see the meaningless threats,
I see the selfish lying,
I see the foolish bets.
I see those who are the wealthiest,
I see those without a friend,
I see the world around me,
I see nothing but the end.
