My Vision is Clear

What is my vision you ask? Well, let me first ask… What is a life worth That man sees the struggle in his neighbor’s weary eyes Sees the burn of hunger in his emaciated frame Sees the stricken and desperate pounding of his heart overrun by fear And yet closes his eyes and drops not a single tear What is my vision you ask? My vision is clear “Dignity + compassion= peace” Spread the love and peace What is a life worth That man hears his brother’s heart wrenching cries Begging, pleading for man to withdraw his life snatching rifles Begging and pleading for mercy And yet man covers his ears and pretends not to hear What is my vision you ask? My vision is clear “Dignity + compassion= peace” Spread the love and peace What is a life worth That man smells the stench of life without water on his son Smells the funk of stolen, unlived years And yet man breathes deep through his nose but the stinch disappears, his conscience is clear What is my vision you ask? My vision is clear “Dignity + compassion= peace” Spread the love and peace My eyes wish to no longer witness the flowing tears My ears wish to no longer ring from the everlasting cries My nose wishes to no longer smell the rotting of wasted and spilled blood My eyes can no longer bear to witness My ears can no longer bear the sound And my heart can no longer withstand
