WE MUST CHANGE
We’re all connected
Your pain is my pain
Your joy is my joy
So should life be
Often we get consumed with
ourselves, our individual lives
While forgetting about others,
their lives, their concerns
Often the focus is too much on you
or me
Too much individuality
And one may become a bit
overzealous
Until someone tells us, reminds us
It’s not about me or you
The picture is much bigger
There shouldn’t be a business,
economy or first class
But only one section
For we’re all the same and should
be treated as such
Enough with the levels of division
that divides us in many ways
Enough with putting one person on
a pedestal
Build a bigger stage
Highlight the masses, not the few
Give credit to the deserving not
the undeserving
The simple gesture of showing
concern for others
is seldom seen
Let’s change that
Let’s re-prioritize our values and
focus on those in need
Forget about greed
Forget about the color of one’s
face
Let’s come together as the human
race
The picture is much bigger
Many minds are poisoned by the
mass media, misguided values and distorted beliefs
But that can change, we all can
change, we must change.
