What A World That Would Be


We think we are the center of the universe 

We humans fail when we strive for godliness 

We compete with each other on a daily, jealousy coursing through our veins 

Change that 

Fix that 

Everyday a body lies in the street from hatred 

Everyday someone is torn down from the words we spit 

Everyday someone is closer to death because of our venom 

Change that 

Fix that 

Help each other 

Lend a hand and support 

Take the hatred out of your voice and praise each other  

Take the venom out of your veins and heal each other 

Turn jealousy to admiration and love each other
