Jigsaw World

This world is spread out all over the place
Countries and people, each different face.
Some of us fit, some of us can't
So we judge and we cry
We scream and we rant.

You have to accept this reality
Do you let the haters strip your sensuality?
Or do you stand firm, two feet on the ground
Kill them with kindness and love what's around.

The streets are ugly with insecure beasts
Don't act like a demon, act like a priest.
Achieve real wisdom at times when your prodded
Instead of letting your insides feel  clodded.

Look in the mirror, stare at your face
Who do you see, don't run the same race.
Judgment won't end, so just be at peace
Don't fight fire with fire and it will cease.
