Give Peace a Chance

The world collapses
Diseases kill
Meaningless wars
Starvation
Homelessness
Cancer is growing
We either hate our neighbors
Or just don’t know
Fire builds fire
Revenge is the cause 
You can’t wound with your hands
You kill with kindness
And heal with compaction
Hatred no solution
The world collapsing
and we don't know what to do

Who Am I

I’m not stupid
I’m absorbent
Waiting for the right time to speak
Pondering idea that took centers to perfect

I’m mot smart
I work hard
Putting more effort than everyone else
Practicing English, science, history, math

 I’m not mean I’m honest
I dare to tell the truth that people fear
They hate me because I’m not who they want me to be

I’m not nice 
I’m practical
I don’t always say what on my mind
Trying my best to act like I’m kind

I’m not happy
I’m blinded by my ignorance
Unaware of the suffering of the world
Smiling as the world smiles with me

I’m not sad
I’m sympathetic
Wounded by the sorrow I've seen
Frowning as the world frowns with me

Seven billion people in the world 
And they don’t all see me
Seven billion people in the world
And they each only see one of me
Seven billion me’s in the world
But I only know one
Seven billion me’s in the world
Zero real ones
