Are you desperate to be right all of the time?
How much better at day's end to be found kind!

In Quarantine We Trust
There will be annihilation
In Quarantine We Trust
It will end in jubilation

In Quarantine We Trust
An awakening of the soul
In Quarantine We Trust
Dirt for this empty hole

In Quarantine We Trust
Compassion for the spiteful
In Quarantine We Trust
Humility for the prideful

In Quarantine We Trust
That there will be healing
In Quarantine We Trust
For the tears of families kneeling

In Quarantine We Trust
First Procedural Sense
In Quarantine We Trust
Next Misplaced Reverence

In Quarantine We Trust
Dominion of material
In Quarantine We Trust
Elimination of ethereal

In Quarantine We Trust
There will not be new beginning
In Quarantine We Trust
The world will keep on sinning

In Quarantine We Trust
Unattainable height
In Quarantine We Trust
Fingertips missing Light

In Quarantine We Trust
The Essence will be rust
In Quarantine We Trust
Until we change our Trust

When a good thing comes your way
Your foes will turn to watch the rain

Thank God for a good kick in the ***
It's what reminds me life is precious

گفتم چرا این جلوه و ناز
گفت زیرا خواهید کرد نیاز
My first couplet in Farsi. I hope it makes sense!
Derrek Estrella Feb 2020
One day, there will be nothing left to find
And you will rest uneasy 'till the end of time
Bard Jan 2020
My heart is so ******
Isn't that how it should be
Grey Jan 2020
It's not my fault
that you've stolen my heart.

Our children see others lie with impunity
Simply blow out the light, darkness perverts civility
