Pettiness and snickering
Amongst ourselves, selfishly bickering

Much more to loose
We have to choose

People are dying
Relatives are crying

No one is listening
Yet we keep persisting

Going about our daily life
Forgetting of the strife

Stuck on subjects of the trite
Senseless and loosing sight

My heart, it holds sorrow
For all I wish wasn't so hollow

I cannot rhyme or reason
This dissention in season

Anger and violence
What of our benevolence?

Have we ignored our ability
Now left only with a liability

Can we not conceive
A life of tolerance and reprieve

I may be naive
In my desire to believe

In mankind and love
In big picture plans above

We must spread messages of hope
And continue to cope

With conflicts outweighing our own
Unite together to face the unknown
