What is Happening?
I look around and see people
Disregarding each other’s mind, body, and soul.
Why are you so angry? Why the rage and revenge. It must end.
There is so much hate. Where is the love? I don’t see it.
People are afraid. Intimidation is so wrong.
There is too much harm, hurt, destruction. Where is the
conscience?
Who are your friends? Are they competitors, rivals?
We need to respect and honor each other.
There is so much loneliness, don’t you see them?
They need a companion. Try to be obedient, stop being so unruly.
We need good self-esteem, no doubt. Be proud.
We need assurance and faith that things will change.
Don’t be afraid, don’t be sad. There is hope.
The children need guidance. Don’t mislead them.
Compromise and learn self-control. Teach morals.
Practical, sensible, rational; isn’t there enough foolishness?
Encourage each other. Life is too short.
Be thankful. There is light beyond the darkness.
It can shine through, forgive, have patience, and be devoted to
kindness.
We need a future, it’s our responsibility.
