I cry at your confusion, truly. I cannot see what you see, Why we can not live together As one people, free. But tears dry before they fall, Because I refuse to tend sadness. Madness? Call it what you will, If everyone thought as I did We would be living in peace and harmony. But, isn't that always the case? Still I stake, hope and dreams On the good naturedness of humanity Because that is what we truly are That is the core to our being, for It is in your belief that gives such things life And the first man did not rise to strike another But to reach higher up the vine To protect his young To share in the gifts granted by the father of lights, these stars that fuel Mother nature, who cannot stop giving Even if it were her will, And it is not. Because she loves you Even if you do not reciprocate. That love, unconditional; Where man can learn.
