Ode To Humanity

If I could turn back time- I wouldn't. Though I've done some things in my life I knew i shouldn't, I have grown stronger- Comprehending things and helping people, I previously couldn't. Being in the place I currently find myself, I live with no regret. Because holding onto the past only hastens my death. I will die one day- be it soon or distant. But i know I will elevate to a higher Plane of existence. I will leave this world behind with a clean conscience; for the burden of pain in your heart is exhausted. I will move on from the mistakes of my past. I will help others mend their wounds When they find themselves coming in last. My goals, forever in mind, are many in number- But my greatest goal is to better our kind and eradicate hunger. Humanity is my love- so deeply I know this. I mustn't look above- but within those who are soulless Sometimes i will get burned- It's happened before- but there's no lesson learned, for i am pure to the core. if I give up on our entire human race- Result of a handful of dishonest fakes- I'd find myself falling back into my previous careless state; That I struggled so hard to escape. So, open your arms wide- Letting go of the mistakes you so hide. See the beauty within humanity- Help yourself- and others- Learn to set ourselves free- To be all that we can- and should be. Maybe in time, we can all believe That it is indeed possible, To live with glee- Abound in such peace and harmony. This is my wish- My most reoccurring dream. I yearn to make a difference; HOW MANY OF YOU ARE WITH ME?
