I Am Striving To Change
Humanity is sometimes lost
Amongst the daily grind
I am just one who feels the cost
Of cradling a closed mind
The poor and huddled pave their way
Toward living in the light
Like others I've alot to say
That doesn't make it right
Yes,we look down the sidewalk
Cross to the other side
I feel ashamed,a few will talk
And this I can't abide
I'm one of many given to fear
Of things not understood
The price to pay is far too dear
For not doing what we could
I am all done with trepidation
Steps need to be taken
We need to be a kinder nation
Hearts and souls awaken
