We’re all hurled
Into the midst,
A perfect world
Does not exist.
Taught to hate,
Doomed to die.
Our death rate
Has soared sky-high.
We can escape,
Begin the climb.
Build to reshape
Free from crime.
Help to offset
Push and shove.
Do not forget
How to love.

Good day! This post could not be written any better!
Reading through this post reminds me of my old room mate!
He always kept talking about this. I will forward this page
to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read.
Many thanks for sharing!
