I see how the love in this world takes a backspace
The need for good in this world is in last place
When will the evilness end?
The hatred in this life supports this case
While others will blame, this and that race
How do we stop the heinous rift?
Only together, we can make a positive shift
Return to our spiritual loving roots
From the heavenly sounding flutes
The angels of harmony
Inspiring our soulful philosophy
A gift from our wonderful creator
To set forth the righteous path
Rewrite the history of mankind’s wrath
But we continue to make the same mistakes
Over and over, again
Backspacing
a life of valuable
lessons
