Life

Opinion is all relative and it holds far too much weight,
peoples talkin is repetitive always wanting to debate.

Can’t we get along even if we don’t agree?
Can’t we try and sympathize or are we void of empathy?

Are we living in a world where few people truly feel?
Where creativity’s repressed and compassion isn’t real?

I fear I know the answers to these questions I have asked,
and I just pray the time for change has not yet come and passed.

To bring positivity and love is a vow that I will make,
and to teach the art of giving is a promise I won’t break.

The future is not bright, it’s a dark and scary place,
let’s illuminate the dark but putting smiles on our face.

Let’s show someone we love them every single day.
Let’s show someone some sunshine and take the clouds away.
