Be Kind

 

I look at this world. It brings me to tears.

No changes, no choices, no power, no voice.

Our fears come true instead of our dreams.

Our words echo, reverberate, into a void.

 

I have a dream, just like that man,

the one they killed for speaking the truth.

I have a dream just like the one

that lead to a man being hung on a cross.

 

I wish the world was more like our dreams.

People could base all their actions on love.

I wish we could be all that we want.

I wish I could be all that I need.

 

I have nothing to offer, words don’t cast a spell.

Be kind to each other, remember this well.

 

 

Backwards

 

and now, if we go backwards,

where was the beginning?

if we choose to start again,

what will we be losing?

would the end still be the same

despite a change in choices?

 

I’d go back for just one thing,

to hear again the voices

of those who went ahead,

the ever loving dead
