We Can Co-exist

You live your life

As you wish

And I’ll live mine

An effort to co-exist

 

Today’s world a crazy place

Mind what you do

And be careful what you say

Not everyone thinks as you do

 

I’m no angel

A student in the school of life

I’ve made my share of mistakes

Paid my dues in deserved strife

 

Now I do my best

To give back good karma

Pay it forward

A smile for my mama

 

But the path I walk

Unique of my own

Were you to walk my path

My truth to you would be shown

 

We’ve all different perspectives

Seen from various views

Each our own interpretations

Each our own truths

 

Respect comes with a price

In order to deserve respect

You must be respectful of others

Unless a conflict you expect

 

Our beliefs may vary

But still, we can co-exist

Give each other space

In such a place as this
