These Words Consideration, Temperance, Compassion, Compromise, Understanding, Realization, Differences, Similarities, Tolerance, Acceptance, Respect What are these words, What do they mean, Werent meant for only Being written in a book, Tucked away on a shelf, Kept out of sight, Never to see daylight, Not just to be read, Something left Inside of your head, Not to be abandoned, But expanded, Even demanded. Does anyone know them, Does anyone care, For what they are meant to be, Does anyone see, Can we all agree, What the world would be. They really mean nothing, If they are only spoken, Just concidered a token, Maybe even disgusting. These words, Can people live, Never condemn, Always defend, Have these words been lost, Through the generations Of our civilizations. These words, Are not absurd, Forgotten it seems, Not practiced, Maybe in our dreams, Maybe understood, But no longer active. If the people of the world Understood these words, If the leaders of the world Would practice these words, Instead of acting like lords, If we could Live by these words, Then maybe the world would, For our common good. What would our history be, What would our world be today, What would you say, What could it be, What should it be, What would our world Look like tomorrow, What would our world become, If only we could see There would be a lot less sorrow. Were meant, For people to understand, Believed in And lived by, Not to be forgotten, Not just planned, Never banned, Lets take a stand, After all This is our land. Consideration, Temperance, Compassion, Compromise, Understanding, Realization, Differences, Similarities, Tolerance, Acceptance, Respect These words, Why do they exist, Are they only to fill a void, That no one tends to feel and tries to avoid, Are they only to make it easy To sleep through the night, Ones we should live, Instead of a fight. Live them Day and night, Believe in them Because they are right, Then we might See the light. Our world would change, If we could understand, Were not outmanned, If we would believe, Then the world could succeed. Should be our way of life, Not something from our past, Not just when trying to be nice, Like wearing a mask, Or putting up a front, Pretending to be What you want us to see. Should be taught and lived, To our children Of upcoming generations For all civilizations, Giving salvation, Should be our ideals, Forged out of the strongest of steels. These words, Bear in mind, Should not be left behind, For us they can give, Peace of mind. These words, Are what this world truely needs, Planted like seeds, Cultivated like weeds, In all our hands, For everyones needs, Throughout the lands, Handed down to our children, No longer bewildered. Open your eyes And open your mind, If you take the time, You will see What a wonderful world it would be. These words, When inshrined, Were meant, For a better mankind. - Gary P.
