Crossroads and Signs

Life is a long uncertain road 
With lots of crossroads and signs
And while traveling through the rocks
It will only complicate our minds

But we must free our hearts
From greed hate and jealousy
And don't bury your thoughts and dreams 
bring your vision in to reality

But around every corner is a blind spot
So we never know what we will find
But we can't let that make our judgements
Cause we're determined to cross the finish line

And as you travel deeper unto life's road
You will see people suffering every where
And faces of smiling politicians on TV
Telling you how much they care

But look around and you will see
Tribulations is a political strategy
That the powerful and mighty uses
To create confusion and instability

To keep races and the community
Divided and unity miles far apart
But just remember to follow your mind
and in everyone's chest there beats a heart

The brotherly love and sisterly love
Will arise each and every morning
Hold on to the goodwill you share
For it will shine all the way to the end

And not every hand you shake
Is going to be your brother
the governments made the world so hard
so we can't look out for each other

Some net will come up empty
And other will catch a lot of fish
Some will invite you to the table 
And some won't even share a dish

We will see our next door neighbor
With so much foods on his grill
While you are so hungry
Can't remember when last you were fill

Golds and diamond will glitter
And the greedy wants all in their basket
But tomorrow they die and gone
and can't take it with them in the casket

on this rocky life of crossroads and signs
We're not sure of reaching the finish line
living with the constant fear of nuclear energy
that's constantly threatening to stop our time

but we must not fear Man's philosophy
For none of them can change our ideology's
Life's completions is all ready written
For the out come of our destiny
