This world is rough… tough

You always gotta bluff

Even when enough is enough

You can’t deny it, twist it, sugar coat it

Or even hide it: Our world is on the drug of hate

It needs to be detoxed… re-booted… re-invented

With goodness.

They always say “Life isn’t fair”

“You can’t always have your way”

“Bad things happen to good people”

You know why all those things are that way?

Because we made it so

We forgot how to play fair

Everybody is defensive, their forehead says “BEWARE”

Because if you talk politics, religion, or controversial things

You can end up with a sudden bang bang bang of words or bullets

Just because you’re different.

Difference is marked in our biology.

No one is the same.

And difference is great

But humans see it as devastatingly dangerous

One YouTube video that sheds light on the truth never becomes famous

Nothing has to be this complicated

Because simple is “overrated”

Wars are everywhere, even in our hearts.

We can’t decide who we love and who we hate

Because we judge off of Fox News’s reports to date

Seriously?

Have we gotten better, since the 20th century?

All we’ve done is create technology

To mainstream racist and sexist people that will never give an apology.

I want to live in a different world.

Do we have to wait a hundred years for things to change?

If you want to survive in this rough and tough world

You have to bite your tongue.

The truth of goodness has been buried

And one day, the world will uncover it

Because the truth never stays hidden

And then it’ll be good-riddance

To the world we live in, the one where hate, money, and power triumphs over all.

You want to make a change? Who are you going to call?

Can one person really shape the world anymore, in a way that’s purposeful?

I hope so.

Without a change, who are you? Who am I? Except people who live

Breathe, and sleep in a corrupt world.

I pray to survive, and I pray to make that difference,

And I pray for the world to change

From hate, to love.

From bad, to good.

From war, to peace.

From poverty, to wealth.

For inequality, to equality.

Amen.

Are you with me?
