A little boy lost his parents two weeks ago
yet we sit and wait forgetting love
he wants something like his mothers love to show
yet we sit and wait forgetting love
So if we forget Love, what's life all about?

A child dies, and the mother cries
yet we sit and wait forgetting compassion
The tears swell in her eyes
yet we sit and wait forgetting compassion
So if we forget compassion, what's life all about?

A war continues and on rages a resistance
yet we sit and wait forgetting peace
It terrorizes people but it's in the distance
and we sit and wait forgetting peace
So if we forget peace, what's life all about?

A man starves and lies under the pouring rain
yet we sit and wait forgetting charity
All he wants is some food to ease his pain
yet we sit and wait forgetting charity.
So if we forget charity. what's life all about?

So what is life all about?
We've replaced love with hate
which places us in our current state.
A world where man cries because of his pain
and our response is no pain no gain.

So what is life all about?
We've replaced compassion with apathy
we can talk but are filled with hypocricy
We say that we will always be there
but when the time comes we don't show we care.

So what is life all about?
We've replaced peace with war
instead of healing the wound we deepen the scar
A house divided agaisnt self will not stand
yet we push away others, hit them with a backhand

So what is life all about?
We've placed charity with greed
Pride goes before destruction, take heed
We give to the rich while we steal from the poor
and when the poor ask for help we slam the door.

So what is life All About?
LOVE, COMPASSION, PEACE, AND CHARITY.

Well done here, the message is a good one. I liked it.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Interesting piece here. Some areas of it I disagree with but overall, the message is pretty pure.

Good work.
