Tell Me

Tell me of a life worth living 
Lies that can be shared to those hidden from 
Tell me of a convo that comfort a broken wound 
They tell me to be sound of mind yet I prefer listening to music 

Tell me the ways of the wise so I can walk on them
Words that can lead my life into a better place 
Tell me of the secret of living a good life 

Tell me of a witch-doctor who can predict his future 
Tell me of a preacher who shares the word
God answer's our prayers so be patient 

Show me a beautiful woman so that I can tell of her beauty in a poem
Tell me of the talker who convinces people 
I want to walk with the Walker yet the path is hidden from my eyes
Tell me of a peace that can be won easily

In this world,  only two forces are present,  evil and good
Tell me of a paradise that's promised 
At the end,  tell yourself that you can make it 
Know that your unique,  so play your role well
