State It Straight

2/14/16



I'll state
It straight
On this very date
For the sake
Of all that is great
I respect every race
And appreciate the entire place
What good is hate?
And letting things go to waste?
As Earth continues to rotate in space
I see the leaves on trees shake
Beside many seas and lakes
Above tectonic plates
Over time and use electronics break

If you want to be a snake
And to take what you didn't earn or make
Then you better be ready to face
The situation you happened to create
Which may include paranoia, fear and feelings of being unsafe

I have faith
Regardless of if we can ever relate
We all make mistakes
Don't exaggerate
Be thoughtful and considerate of all water sources, so that they may not ever evaporate
