Leaving a Lovely Legacy of Hope

We're repeating history When we are too blind to see Any kind of hate is wrong Everyone needs to belong Not treated with disrespect Where is all the intellect That's been lost and so forgotten There is absolutely nothing That should cause us to return To a world that can not learn When feelings are broken down Because love can not be found It starts to trickle ahead Leaving paths of hurtful dread That people just walk on by Open up your hateful eyes Stomping out all the destruction Starting new with a construction That will build great paths and lead To new hopes we will succeed To make lightness from the dark That's covered too many hearts Releasing loving energy Future generations see And pass down in history Leaving a new legacy To our future generations From all this great inspiration

It goes without saying why I identify with this poem. I totally agree with the Doc and Peter. You just have this great, modern way of exploring socially-conscious issues in a unique poetic way, which is one of your greatest strengths, Sweet Pea <3
