What Should Be

This terrible world

In which we live

Is all about take

And not enough give

Life is about opposites

But what we really need

Is to live without anger

Untruthfulness and greed

What will we leave

For our kids one day

If we're full of corruption

Unjust and dismay

We should unite together

In this country so fine

Learn to love one another

Your neighbor and mine

We'll learn from the Bible

Like God said we should

Then maybe we can live in

A world focused on good
