Fill us with Hope and Passion
Embrace Truth and Responsibility

We are human
We are flawed
It is who we are
Nothing can be perfect
And we make mistakes

May the world hold life
To give and to take
Without fault
There is only insanity

Close to a heart
Here lies a universal subconscious
It connects and ties us to everything
And everyone
Let the word cradle your formless spirit
With new found grace

Peace has been found
It has taken more time than most
But it exists with
Peace
Love
Harmony

A song is sung
A new song to serenade
Existence
Say hold pain
You are not welcome here

Society’s pain
Is a flaming field
Torn and broken
Burnt and smouldering
Embers that remain of false acceptance

When lies are cleared
And truth remains
No one is truly comfortable
Or accepted

These lies that make us
Beak us
Till there is little left

Honoured bonds are
Broken
By society
And its false pretences

Hope and will
For better times
And it may be accomplished
