To Make Things Right

Published on 12 April 2016 at 04:31

We forget sometimes

how important it is

to live in the moment—

to breathe one second at a time,

to wrap our minds around the now,

the lesson that we are to learn today,

not tomorrow.

 

And how are we to do this—

if we are not allowed

to realize that tomorrow

is nothing but

another yesterday

that has not happened

yet?

 

I know for a fact

that what’s intact

is the lack of education

we seem to allow

the younger generation to have.

 

We fill their minds with nonsense—

that blinds them

into a cognitive relapse

of what was said and done yesterday,

instead of what could have been done

today.

 

Day after day,

we fight to stay alive—

to hold onto what we feel is in our right,

something we need,

the materialistic greed

of today’s corrupted society

that holds no seed

of hope and prayer

for those who care enough

to change things for the greater good.

 

And I know—

it’s tough

to see a world

that’s falling apart.

 

But open your eyes, people,

and see

that the world

is not your enemy.

 

And I know for a fact

that what should be intact

is how far people would go

to bring back what we used to know—

and how we used to feel.

 

But let’s be real here

for a minute—

 

and change the world

and all that’s in it.

 

One last time.

One final fight.

But this time...

 

let’s make things right.
