Try Your Best
If we all tried our best,
To do everything we can
To make the world a better place
And to embrace our fellow man
Our skins may be of a different colour.
Our brains form the same.
We are all human beings,
With different cultures and names.
We should celebrate the differences,
That adds interest and intrigue
To a life that would be mundane
Full of self-interest and greed
How would we survive,
If we were all the same?
Our education would be limited,
And some would go insane
Because of intermarrying
One of your kith and kin
What a state of affairs
It would put the world in.
Whatever race we are
Be it black, white, red, or yellow
Our inner core is the same
Born a girl or fellow
War makes unrest
It never makes peace,
If this were so
Wars would cease,
Individual inner peace
The peace that calms the soul,
War solves nothing
It takes its toll
In every facet of life
Causing bloodshed and strife
So before we crumble and fall
Individuals, one and all
Give your best
And The Almighty will do the rest.
