Can Do
As I arise to face a new day
The governments in foul play.
Taxation is a total drain
Crime is a money gain
Pollution clouds my membrane
Healthcare is a crying shame
Love can be a constant pain
Hatred may never end.
You ask me what, I CAN DO
I measure life as you do to.
To de-value one's life, is everyones issue
Reguardless of circumstantial views.
Put yourself in someone elses shoe's
It may very well, oneday be you.
Blaming, fighting, fear & pain
We all know it, there's nothing to gain.
No sense in crying, establishment blues
It only feeds the anger, we fuel
Its human nature, win or lose
Chose not to be like them
Love unconditionally thats your tool.
You ask me what I CAN DO.
I measure life as you do to
Theres only so much one can do
To acknowledge & challenge, for change
Is the power within you.
Responsibility lies, in what we CAN DO
When time to give, gift with a open heart
A peaceful demeanor, is a pure start...
