For Lack There Of

 

There’s a void in the world

A void that has always needed more

Love in the hearts of people

Peace and understanding behind that door

 

Love to take the place of

Hatred, vengeance and violence

For people to come together

Communicate and end the silence

 

If we are to grow as a species

And not cause our own demise

We need to see love in ourselves

And finally open our eyes

 

We were not put on this Earth

To birth its destruction

We need the building blocks of love

To begin its reconstruction

 

Let’s wipe the slate clean

Put aside all weapons of arms 

Fill our world with love

Embrace with unified arms

 

Or we will destroy ourselves

Animals, mammals and plant life too

The Earth a dead burnt out planet

A sad ending view

 

But maybe it’s not too late

If we can dig down deep for love

To love our world and everyone in it

The lack there of
