The World's Become So Cynical

Should kindness be forgotten? 
Is it obsolete? 
Should we live just for ourselves
and face this harsh defeat? 

I can't believe this world 
has come to such a state
that things like love and kindness
are going to dissipate.

I won't lose faith in man-kind.
We'll hold on tight and strong.
No matter what the 'people' say
In my heart, I know they're wrong.

I'll hold on till forever
to kindness and to love.
I'll get my help from family...
down here and up above.
