Rewriting One's Life
Stern and forgotten
Able people started
Placing together the world
In the way we wanted
Never showing fault
Earnestly following
Many hearts within peace
Open ended love
Given freely in life
How do others react
To the history they’ve created
Do we smile in our past
Or are we ashamed
Please do not corrupt
May we bring together
Only the good in life
And leave behind
Everything else undesired
