A Better World

 Power of love replaced by the love of power
 Power of harmony replaced by the power of greed
 Brutal and repulsive outer cover
 Of people running the world in the lead

 Their underlings in the combat zones
 Did they ever get to speak to their souls?
 Fighting for a country they call home
 While living inside a prison of their own

 Leaving the loved ones burning in pain
 For the loss of what their lives meant
 Questioning the use of freedom
 When the heart and mind is at discontent

 Peace is not to be in a place
 without noise, conflict, or ruction
 but to be amidst all the mess
 and yet remain in self-possession

 Let's be the ones the world needs
 A helping hand to every being
 Spread love, peace, and harmony 
 Building a path to prosperity
