What then, can I give?
To a world hurting on paranoia and fear
What chance does a small feeling of hope have against these walls
I ask:
Can I give love? Or perhaps time?
What can I give
To a world scarred
What can I say to despair as it continues to ravage hearts
What then, can I do
In a world so focused on the wrongdoings of others that it forgets to look for light
What then, can I give?
I answer:
That which I can give, is my mind
My choice to denounce hatred
That which I can give, is my heart
For in it lives a well that can heal and rebirth the new
That which I can give, is my hope
For in it is the unfulfilled promise that the scarred world can acknowledge its pain and wrongdoings, and choose to rebuild with compassion in its DNA
So what I can give, is the chance to change
And what I can give, is me
