One Journey

There are things all around us, that try to create,
An illusion of a world that isnt filled with hate..

Cant even speak about race without starting to fight,
People judge cultural differences which isnt right.

We are born with the blessings of being uinique,
But the only thing we do is critique critique critique.

I am me just trying to get by, 
But not making waves in life brings demise

We are lost people, we need to find our way,
In cast based system, spiritual growth is at bay

We hide our emotions, try to be made of stone
This spiritual journey is one that must be made on your own

Every day is a gift sent to us which isnt guaranteed
But the journey through life is something that we need

Some people believe we ascend, some people believe when we die its the end, 
Either way i wont pretend that i  have the answers to impress them

So many things that run through our minds 
yet we let our selves roam completely blind in time

Trying to impress those who only judge, but if it was you or them on a cliff theyd give you the nudge..

Try to be different and accept those who are,
You will ascend through their knowledge to the stars

People are not above you, and you are not above them,
Love your neighbors through thick and thin

This is just one mans mind rambling for hours,
But let these words instil a certain power

One that enables you to do great things, 
Remember youre beautiful and unique in the end.
