Our world is full of hell’s quick haste,
Falling into demons’ taste.
And often here I sit so lost,
Unknowing of earth’s fatal cost.
But no longer will I sit in silence,
I will not witness more of this violence.
I’ll open my arms to those in need,
Allowing other’s to succeed.
When I see the gay pushed and shoved,
I’ll lend a hand as he’ll rise above.
When I see the “geek” without a friend,
I’ll be the one to lend a hand.
When words are used against the weak,
I’ll comfort him until he’s strong.
When I see the homeless on the street,
I give my warmth to him in need.
When I hear of murder on the news,
I’ll spread the message and bring forth truth.
When my lands in need,
I’ll raise my fists.
Through the bumps,
The curves and twists.
