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
