I have a new sense of spirituality,
morality,
confidence,
individuality.
It's a new way of how I view the world.
Not everything is black and white
wrong and right
There are all kinds of people
living in our world
There are diverse cultures
some new, some old
what seems right to a mother
may seem wrong to a father
there are all kinds of people
living in our world
This world belongs to all of us
we are made equal
man and wife
still there is so much chaos
so much strive
in this great big puzzle
we call life
We hope for health and prosperity
yet we long for these things selfishly
you think what you have is so great
But do you really know your fate?
why can't we care for the poor
just walk out your door
And see what this world
has in store
if you help out others
treat strangers as brothers
then there is more humanity
in all this insanity
Just walk a day in anothers shoes
what would you have to lose?
what they do has an effect on you
because they live on this planet too
It really is no mystery
one person can shape history
this moment will soon be past
do kind deeds, put yourself last
it pays to be kind
it is good to be fair
that could have been you,
that person over there
maybe good people are hardly seen
because they are looked down upon as
poor and meek
Don't you know that with charity comes greater riches
than can be bought
to ease pain and sickness
is joy that should be sought
material riches can bury you in pretty ditches
being honest and true is better than fame and glory
this is my story
the only way to bring yourself happiness
is to push past the pain and crapiness
there is an end in sight
The end I see is
the end of pain
the end of evil, hurt and shame
the end of war and terror
peace and those who care
maybe it will never happen in this life
Yet, I believe someone will take me there.
Unity, equality, peace for all
that is what I would call
a perfect beautiful wonderful place
where all are wholly full of grace
now it's time to do better
we can all work together
giving it all our might
never giving up the fight
not everything is black and white
wrong and right
is what beings all these fatalities
If you are hurting nobody,
then you are doing right
When you might cause others pain
then try to think twice
everyone has a place
we are all part of the human race
dark to light, no matter your face
we all have hands and feet
we come in many shapes
we work and eat,
we have children, we die
we can all smile
we can all cry
There is not much difference
between you and I.
We are all living, breathing
humans on earth
We have language, identify,
individuality
Yet some are still being treated as property
Land, animals, houses, gold
those can be bought or sold.
A person is not a possession.
learn this lesson.
Forget the billionaires with their
billion dollar abodes
They are in constant worry of losing it all,
what a terrible load
Instead, use what you have wisely, don't be greedy
Only love lasts forever in the hearts of those dear to us.
If you have what you need,
you do not need excess.
There is something I must confess.
I used to feel superior to those with less than I.
Less education, less religion, less possessions,
I thought "How lucky am I,"
Then I became unhappy with it all
I was anxious and worried that I would not make it.
I would smile and say, "I'm fine"
but I faked it
I was a mess inside
falling apart, wishing to die.
I was lonely, too focused on my everyday stresses.
I know now that I have many blessings.
Being the best at everything is impossible.
Just be yourself and love others.
Make joy possible.
Not everything is black and white
wrong and right.
