Hope not Lost
Every corner I turn
Seems to offer so much hate
In this world
Why can’t we just stop to appreciate
The good things that
We seem to pass on by
The subtle smiles
The memories that seem to tie
Us to love
Is it really to much to ask
For everyone to cooperate
Without putting up a mask.
I wish it was so simple
Where no one could be sad
Where people helped each other
And no one could get mad
at the small things
And really everything is small
Where people stay up all night
Waiting on a call
that could change the world
Yet the truth speaks
We can all influence one another
By a simple meet and greet.
So when you get a chance today
Or even on tomorrow
Look around the world and smile
Please forget all of the sorrow.
This place where we live
May seem small at times
But dreams are big so
Go for them, it is not a crime.
Even if we can not coexist
The new ideas of the younger
May bring us closer to a peace
That used to seem so far under
the depths of retrieval.
But I tell you there is hope.
Do not give up on this generation quite yet
There really is no need to mope.
We will change things.
For the better.
