You Get What You Give
The energy you put out
Is what you get in return
Although this is a lesson
Some will never learn
There are those who
Murder, steal and lie
Their lives are chaotic
And they’re left wondering why.
Some are getting in trouble
Always looking and trying
Then defying authority,
getting shot and dying
Loved ones left behind
Heartbroken and crying
Their stories being twisted
By the media’s lying
When all it would take
Is to be reasonable and collective
Rather than being resistant
Angry, and selective
When faced with authority
Just be calm and compliant
Rather than being mad,
Aggressive and defiant
When you are living a life
Full of love and hope
It makes life better
much easier to cope
With what life throws at you
No matter what it may be
With each challenge in life
the bigger picture you'll see
Do your actions support
The life that you truly want to live?
Are you emitting the energy
That you really want to give?
The energy you bring in
Is the energy you put out
Getting what you give
Its what life is all about
