Making a Difference
With all these people surrounding us
It’s confusing how there are so many that need help
Spreading love and kindness sounds like an effective idea
But it seems like these days people have turned off their moral values
Instead of people coming together and lending a helping hand
Lately there have been major problems scattered around
But people think it’s not among me so why bother
Yet many selfish views have comprised most of our problems
People are always looking for the greater good
In all honesty though if people made an effort it would make a change
Truth is really what the people need
But instead were forced to tell lies for simple things
People long ago have escorted out their feelings
But now the old wonder why the young don’t act so courteous
I found out long ago that this world is very cold
My mom tried to warn me of the dangers that it holds
But me so naive always believes that I could be the one to intervene
I hate the tension that surrounds this world
People acting like wild animals or machines instead of humans
Living in this kind of world makes me very sad
Excessive problems for material things
People turning against each other for a life that is unsubstantial
Many issues circulating around me
Most of them because of something being different
All these things gives me a sense that nothing will ever change
It's difficult for me to see light through so much pain
But will always have hope and that keeps me distant
I show grace all around to keep people uplifted
One day my thoughts and feelings granted to me will make a peaceful difference
