Unity of the People
Human beings we are
Each searching for are own happiness
Fearing the possibility of living a life of misery
We are not born with hate, only the will to survive
Only the unloved hate
In this world we try to be kind, but so many have lost their way
As greed and selfishness has poisoned are souls
We barricade are feelings, protecting it with rage
Born into a world that has seen despair and bloodshed
We developed the gift of independent thinking, but have given into the creation of the machine
Our knowledge has led to war and famine
Our cleverness has made us sneaky, hiding are true objectives
The truth is we need humanity, to give into are kindness and gentleness
Without these qualities we are demons in human skin
Life becomes more violent, more life will be lost
Progression in ourselves brings us together
Disasters cries out for the goodness that is within people
These are opportunities to form a universal kinship
Unity is the only way
For every man, woman, and child has the right to chase their own destiny
I hope these words reach out to millions of people
So that poor victims of are chaotic system feel some form of love, sympathy, and empathy
So that we can look pass color, race, religion, sex, and economic beliefs
Unfortunately we have leaders who are nothing more but bitter, spreading fear because of are progression as people
I hope that hate will pass and love, kindness, and unity shall be given back to the people
So that true justice, liberty, and opportunity shall take its truest, most purest form
We are not brutes
Why must we given into leaders who despise us, enslave us to the system, and separate us as people
Telling the people world wide this is how you must feel, this is how must think
Treating us like cattle so that they can run off with all the money
Thinking of us as disposable, think of us as fodder
Using soldiers as tools to drain somebody else's resources, freedom, and way of life
They are not your tools
They have strong wills, they have the guts to fight and protect their families, friends, and nations
Are leaders don't understand this is are world
We have the power to make life beautiful, a place of wonder
People fight for unity, not to be the supreme power
Are leaders might have freed themselves, but what about us, what about the future
Are suppose to live a never ending spiral of living a life to make somebody else feel richer and cynical
Stop thinking this is the way it has to be, and that change can never come, don't be accepting to this unjust life
Stop being tolerant of where we are now
We are beings of progression
We have the power to make a life that is worth living
