My Earnest Thoughts

jjudaharts

The world's a stage,

Shakespeare surely said,

What roles do we play?

 

Still I rise,

Maya Angelou surely cried,

Meaning we keep tearing each other apart?

 

I got no words to add,

The icons' words are echoes,

But the real voice,

Is how we play our roles,

And how we treat other people.
