Of all the things in life unseen,
and everything that's left unsaid,
all the people could have been,
now the dreams are left for dead.

A true path is hard to walk,
so many think not act,
another day of stagnant talk,
never facing facts.

So easy to let others deal,
the problems every day,
o.k. today not to feel,
pill popped pain we wash away.

It's fine not to ever stand,
saying no to hate,
if this was the law of the land,
gruesome be the fate.

Thanking world for standing tall,
natural beauty's guarding fence,
love protects against the fall,
without it no defence.
