Place
I see a future. But the future is not of me. The future is of others whose lives I see as they go by
Whose lives have been moved through work and words
I see a future where I am, I do not know.
But do I care? No
No I do not because this is a beautiful place.
A place when peace goes out to the human race with just one word
Where hate has no place
Where real smiles are on every face
Where tears are not shied in a dark lonely space.
Where love is more than just a four letter word that people say as if it is a greeting or the newest hip phrase.
But where is this place?
You do not care.
Well let me say, because of your I don’t care ways peace is all in the imagination
Hate is a part of our daily actions
Smiles are so fake they can be sticks on someone’s face.
Tears fall for so long and so hard and so much that people drown in them all
Love is just something said and not something they have in their hearts
We want this place?
We cannot have this place
This place will not be if “I” and “you” cannot become “we”
If we cannot shut up for five second to hear the dispirit scrams
If we cannot see best what they want us to believe
If we cannot stop to help that man walking out knowing at the light green
If we cannot stop and let our hearts bleed for the little girl that lost her hamster last week.
The place I see will never be unless we all take a leap,
Be free
Love one another
Just leave hate be.
