Can there be a thing called love
in the world we live today.
can there be compassion and hope
or have we cast them all away
Do we stand at the gates of hell
and look into that fiery pit.
do we wallow in self pity
buried in our own shit
Can we look at a crying child
and feel the sadness grow,
or do we wish they'd just shut up,
have we sunk this low
Can we raise above the hate
that settles on this land
can we build a better place
with foundations not built on sand
Can we look into ourselves
and see the evil there.
can we start to look for good
or do we really care
Can we look to other lands
new friendships can we forge
or are our thoughts on personal gain,
where moneys the new lord
and when you lie upon your bed,
while death besides you sit,
can you look upon your life
and say, ...it was worth it
