Think.


The older they get, the colder they get

Swinging life away without a care about what is here today

Acting as if the earth is lucky to have us

But there is no "us" without earth

Killing over differences

But we are so alike

Not understanding but assuming

Is what we do best

I stand among the rest

In hope of unification

Bonded together by

Love

Peace

And

Compassion

Now this is my passion

Together we shall rise above

But we better hurry...

The burden is heavy,

The price we must pay

However one day

We will all be able to say

Life is good

God is great

Let’s get together and celebrate

Thrive

Breathe in life

You have today
