Gunshots. Terror. Fear Cruelty. Injustice. Nastiness all day.
Do you really want to live with a world this way?
The paintbrush is in our hand.
We have to understand-
That with the choices we make - we can paint this world into a stunning view,
Of kindness, peace and care embedded into everything we do.
By respecting the lives of those inferior - respecting all human life,
And appointing judges who enforce morality and ban all stealing and strife,
When we see the awesome world we live in, surrounded with breathtaking landscapes, vivid mountains and the shimmering sea,
We should thank and acknowledge the One who created this awesome world for you and me.
By having mercy on animal creatures and not eating them while they’re still alive, and can feel pain,
It’ll make the world a much more merciful place and it will be more priceless than any gain.
Through doing these things you can make the world the stunning, peaceful and good world it can be,
A wonderful world people have dreamed for- the best possible for you and me.
