"Be the change you want to see in the world." -Ghandi


You wonder why you’re unhappy
You wonder why you’re mad
You’re life is void of smiles
That’s really too bad

Climb out of your skin, and into mine
See the world to which you were previously blind
A life that knows not the restrictions of time
One that knows the beauty of just the right rhyme

Reasons for all war to cease
Ways to achieve world peace
All of these
You now see with ease
You’re learning to appreciate
To dissipate past feelings of hate

A smile spreads across your face
This is the place, life is not a race
Enjoy the taste, of what it’s like to be free
Of the past, of fear and the ever present need
For more


The author's comments:
I see so many people whose lives are full of anger and hatred, and I would think this makes life miserable. This was weighing on me very heavily because my life is full of love, forgiveness of the past, and enjoying life as it comes to me. I view the world as a beautiful place, capable of peace, love and mass enlightenment, and it starts with me and you.
