Pacification

Calm down, my dear friend, take it slow,

All around you may nurture your soul.

If your heart fills with anger and spite,

Just remember—we're guests for the night.

But one day, when your time is due,

You'll return to the place past our view,

Where no passions or dreams have a claim,

Only hope for forgiveness remains.

Then you'll stand on the scales of fate,

As they measure your life's every weight,

And decide where your soul will reside,

With no way to turn back the tide.
