Where is the Love?


Driven by corruption

Consumed by greed

Hidden in fear

Human Instincts

 

I do not need a God

to have kindness in my heart

to have integrity

to know my soul will not rot after death

 

I do not need a reward

to help someone who needs it

to have ethics

to do what is right

 

I do not need to kill

to take out frustrations

to prove my beliefs are stronger

to become famous

 

I do not need to speak

to get my point across

to express my emotions

to be angry at the world

 

Allow me to believe in a divine without corruption

Allow me to have desires without greed

Allow me to be righteous without fear

Allow me to escape my human instincts

 

And we will change the world
