A New Start

Open Hands Open Eyes Open Hearts Open Minds Why can’t OUR world be open? We’re stuck in a world of hate Where people always segregate Themselves and others Trying to find some kind of cover For their fears Their lack of knowledge Their lack of strength But what do we have to prove? EVERYONE has the opportunity to lose. Whether you’re black, white, straight, or gay. Whether you’re Christian, Jew, or you just don’t pray. We need to stop and think for a moment About the major component that connect us all. It’s not the color of our skin Or what we believe in It’s the soul that rests within And HOW we live our lives. People speak words that cut like knives to people they don’t even know Because many years ago their families were raised to believe That anyone different was out to deceive But this way of thinking has our clock ticking To destruction we create ourselves A war amongst the ENTIRE human race Because someone couldn’t handle a little taste Of a life different from theirs. We NEED to stop hate and just try to communicate That we are not unified under One God or heavenly being But through a tear, a smile, a hug, a laugh Life We are unified through life. We all go through happiness and strife. So let’s just leave it at that Because we don’t want a world only colored in white and black But in a multitude of colors beyond our wildest imagination Open YOUR hands Open YOUR eyes Open YOUR hearts Open YOUR minds Because we are the only ones who can find the peace on earth that everyone is trying to find It has to start somewhere Why not with us?
