Ode To Humanity
It seems like my life is always lacking.
Too many blurry faces passing.
It's like living in a time when the world is gone,
No one can agree because everyone is wrong.
If we all could take time to appreciate our lives,
And stop believing and telling these foolish lies,
Maybe then we could live in harmony,
In a world full of love like it was meant to be.
I wish I could tell them all the way I feel,
But no one will believe because it's so unreal.
This idea that we all could be at peace,
And we all could be each other's release.
Maybe one day we could find some common ground
Lying somewhere in the Lost & Found.
But you know this is just the way it goes,
When all this hatred just overflows.
In a time when no one can just understand
What it's like to walk with each other hand in hand.
It all comes down to a change of mind,
And to leave the stigmas and hate behind.
Does it really make them feel good deep within,
To hate another person based on the color of their skin?
It's not what's on the outside that makes them who they are,
It's what's inside them; It's what's in their heart.
It doesn't matter what we look like externally,
The only thing that matters is who we chose to be.
We are strong, and have the power to agree,
To love and cherish each other's company.
And I know that we can all hold each other up and live free.
This is my ode to humanity.
