Love
Compassion
Forgiveness
When you are first brought into this world
You know nothing
You don’t know that the leaves change with the seasons
That there are multiple religions
That there is a beautiful place called Taco Bell
You know nothing
Ignorance is a funny thing
You can either take the knowledge that is passed down like dirty blankets from your great-grandmother
And use it to benefit some part of your world
Or you can ignore it and learn your own way
Hatred
Hostility
This is what you will learn
When i was 10 years old
I learned that not everyone is as sweet as my mom
If you don\'t watch your step you might just walk into a storm
That you didn’t know existed
Love
Compassion
Forgiveness
I learned these things from my mother
I took the knowledge and tried my best to swallow it as fast as i could
But the hatred and hostility was just too heavy in my heart
Now i am fighting to be like her
To do what she taught me
To love one another because that\'s all we have
To be grateful that you can wake up every single morning
To work as hard as you can but also don\'t forget to laugh
To share your art with the world
I am just doing
What my mother taught me
