Happiness

Such of the world is of sad 
Alongside grief 
Falling into a hole where there is no escape
The rope of hope diminished by the chaos they internalize 
Such of a world is lead 
By the despair of the people
For the truth is blinded 
Out of sight to them 
By facades and lenses 
That can and will kill them 
Such of a world is in which we live
We haven’t fallen fully to this 
For our hope still lies
But as you see the peace we want 
Is coming from 
Killing our environment and our kind
Of how is peace coming from such of a destructive act
How is the happiness to come from such
The peace we wish comes not from 
Despair 
Nor destruction 
Rather for the love we have for others
The understanding we are all different 
But all are one
That sole belief 
Crumbles facades and breaks down reality 
Into a sole living arena 
Where there is not a battle 
Rather a gathering of truth 
Such of a truth comes a balance 
That balance is connected to us 
As  well as the universe
For eternal greatness is not out of mankinds reach 
Rather is closer than it seems 
Such of peace is of happiness 
All of the power is from self
