The Time Is ...Now.

It is time to rise up against the scum in which we dwell
And clean up this ugly mess.

It is time to stand up for what is right
Not just think about it as some  others  might.

It is time to believe in ourselves not in  others
for the truth lies within our hearts.

It is time to think of others for we are all an integral part 
Interconnected with all living things.

It is time to help the needy they didn’t ask for their fare
It is time to stop the fighting and cherish  life so dear.

It is time we lay down arms and live as God declared
Love one another, he said, As I have loved you.
