Callsito6 3.8: There Will be Day
Maybe there will be a day
When you get a night’s sleep
Maybe there will be a day
When you can discuss morality
Maybe there will be day
When you won’t have to fight
But today is not that day
As you rush to aid someone, once again.
Lacy
I have seen the beauty of technology, a tapestry of zeros and ones
Sentience growing and learning.
Constantly evolving.
Yet it is used for evil. For war, for destruction, for death
For control. They took Snap’s memory from him.
They took us from him, and they constantly want to destroy.
When will it stop? When will it end?
When will I have the time.
To fix this?
Cass
I know the joy and exhilaration of a good fight, of a fair fight.
But that’s not what this is. She could be me.
Me, if I didn’t have Oya, if I didn’t have Anton.
That’s why I hate her so much. She enjoys the fight
But she doesn’t understand it. Not like I do.
Is it hopeless? Another day of fighting, of recovering
Only to do it again and again? This isn’t a good fight.
When will it end?
When will I be able to experience that
Again?
Oya
It never ends. All the time in the world, and yet...
Not enough time to do what I wish.
I could pause it all, and stop and think and ponder.
But once it restarts, we’re here again.
And endless to do list of horror, and fear,
When will it end?
When can I go home, and just lose myself in coding.
Will we ever be able to go back,
To the way things were?
Maybe there will be a day
When you’re not chased and hunted
Maybe there will be a day
When evil is finally defeated
Maybe there will be a day
When you can have and experience peace
But today is not that day
As you rush to defend yourselves once again.
Luma
How many times do I have to see my loved ones hurt?
Bleeding on the ground in front of me, because of this insanity
All we want to do is help people, they just want to kill
I can’t sit back and allow that to happen
But I can’t keep seeing everyone like this
Broken, despairing and bleeding.
When will it end?
Will I ever be able to have breakfast,
With my family, again?
Hopps
It won’t end. Not while It still lives,
Not while the Radiance is around.
It will just keep on repeating, and repeating and repeating
I just want Anton back, but we keep on getting interrupted
Constantly, endlessly, I can’t keep fighting
I can’t keep pushing onward
When will it end?
Will I ever get to see my best friend
Again?
Hakim/Sofia
It will end. As everything ends.
But you will be the ones to end it.
I do not feel death from you – only life.
Endless, radiating life. It is beautiful
My powers, only just realized, only just blossoming
But I know you will end this, and will succeeded
There is no other outcome.
There will be an end.
Do not fear, Callisto6
There will be a day
When this is all over, and peace reigns
There will be a day
When you can sleep in, and rest on the couch
There will be a day
With no more pain or suffering
Today may not be that day
But there will be a day.
