Life

Through all this strife

We create life

It's not wrong or right

It's humanity's plight

 

Whether it's with a wife

Or a stranger

We create life

Despite danger

 

There is a new addition

He could end repetition

Of negative patterns

And social ladders

But there is a competition

Between the new editions

Of positive versus negative

He'll be the one ahead of it

 

In a world plagued with stabbings

By the greedy money grabbing

Not to mention the beastly bombings

That endear retribution wronging

And elusive peace longing

There is a birth

Amongst death

That makes it worth

That first breath

Which provides hope in promise and potential

When they could be the positive differential

That could change this planet

And the hearts made of granite

 

We are born screaming

And never stop

We find ways of teaming

To be cops

Imposing our will on others

Through fascist force

There are many ways to cover

How this ruins discourse

But I sense a new sheriff in town

Our old ways he'll bury in the ground

He might be one or two now

But he'll change the world and I don't know how

For he brings hope

To a world with none

He helps me cope

A compassionate son

He'll make the world brighter

By not being a fighter

In a world of strife

He'll create life
