Say It Loud

Say it as it is, say it loud
Peace man yens for but cannot see it 
Although it is the very air around him
He searches for storms and thunders
That which cause fright at sight 
Say it as it is , 
Man lingers in the dark to find the truth
How bright is what he seeks in this world
Whiles all that is true lies within him
Say it as it is,
The poor labors to attain wealth
Thus eroding the very fabric of natures riches
Whiles the rich seeks the meekness of life which he erodes
Say it as it is,
Life is not fair and rewards not along man dreams
So dream big as big as you can
For certainty is never a used vocabulary in life
Just believe 
Say it as it is, say it loud
