Is the world we live in cruel and

dark Or is it one of a dazzling

kind?

Is the light helping us

envision? Or just making us

blind?

Is it a place we can rely on?

Or is it place so

unsteady? Filled with

battles and prejudices

Have we given up

already?

What is it we’re truly fighting for?

Is it for honor and pride?

Or is it the never-ending greed

Which unleashes a beast from the inside?

Do we continue to endure?

Without taking a moment to

pause. An absurd race we run

 looking forward,The view

surrounding us is a lost cause.

Why don’t we take a break and breathe in?

Slowly breathing out as we look around,

Reaching out our hands to acknowledge each other’s presence

While our feet firmly hold our ground.

Contrary to being ahead of one

another we are now standing

alongside, Regardless of

winning or losing the reward is

in the fact that we tried.

Although the change might be small

A significant value is enkindled,

Blurring out the ups and

downs It is all about

 finding the middle.

 A place of tranquility

Where hatred and discrimination would cease to exist,

A place of concord and peace

With sprinkles of kindness and goodwill in its midst.

We might call it too good to be true

As it is a place still unknown,

Yet, by rekindling our values we can achieve-maybe not an ideal

place of perfection, but at least a place we can call home.
