Community

Stand together

By Gregory AndersonPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Look to your left

Look to your right

We see a life of strife

Asking how it happened

In ways it’s hard to imagine

Knowing what came before

We must change what’s in store

Around the world in every haven

There is a human soul worth saving

Disdain for the poor and upper classes

Believing in us has seen a mass exodus

Open our eyes to see we are a community

Various shades bound by different beliefs

Stand against a brother we need each other

If I judge you and you judge me how shall we see

The weight of this world as the issues compound

Faith has been bludgeoned but not worn down

We search in this life for just one single key

The spark for a better world is in you and me

From the time we are born till the time we’re old

Life is our advisory that is at war with the soul

Come together we struggle we must learn to see

The conviction of our resolve to be a community
