2020

The rustle of the trees can sound like the waves

of a tropical beach too far away. 

The sky can turn turquoise after a storm
a slit through the hungry heat after chaos is born

The world may keep moving, unseen and unread

When I'm standing here with angels crying in my head

Its too much to experience, its too hard to accept

That we're all going to hell in a basket instead.

We find reasons to hate, when love is the better answer

with a little kindness we can fix this much faster

We rage we fire we destroy, all that we have created

screaming its for the cause but the lines are much faded

The sting in my eyes I can't see through it all. 

Lessons need to be learned we need to rise not fall

Our country was built on hopes and dreams

Now back to race wars and innocent people screams

There's a bigger picture but no one wants to uncover

Their morals and dignity so our communities must suffer.

Smoke in the sky stretching cities long
Trendy people forget what's right and whats wrong. 

My life matters and so does yours. we must drop the labels

and live as people. we're all people.

fight hate with love, and we can get much farther

fight blindly with destruction and hell will feel closer.

This is more than  a chapter in history books

we must be an example we have generations that will look

at our behaviors and stem from that role

we must be more than a character, we need to be so much more.
