FINDING YOURSELF

Why let what you don't know fester and compound?
Till in your fears and insecurities you get bound,
you let yourself grow deaf to other's views and sounds,
With gloat and respite you feel superior and proud
In truth, you're a fool basking on vain grounds
Pray that you rid your brain of the dark cloud
Open your eyes to the diversity that surround
More valuable than riches in pennies and pounds.

You let your judgement into stains and bloats
Like a pawn others use you for their schemes and plots
You allow to be led like a horny billy goat
With your convictions gone, your soul is cheaply bought
But now your ship is sinking, I offer you a float
Pray you save yourself of the doomed boat
Hope you've the will to swim to the safe coast.

Many are those who'll use faith to deceive
Others use pretense of archaic beliefs
In your heart they'll sow hate and false believes
To loathe your brother for his different weave
Not caring his woes each day to survive
On your knees ashamed you should seek him to forgive.

Rid yourself of the intolerance you bear
Love you brother and hold him dear
Wipe his tears, put to rest his fears
To stand with him you solemnly swear
Being there through the jeers and smears
For being different is neither weird or queer
Letting his light shine bright in the clear.

Be ready for the journey's long
Full of dangers you need to be strong
Many are the traps, holes and sharp thorns
Pray you survive the stings and torn
And once you reach the prize to be won
We'll all break in a song "THIS IS HOW WE WERE BORN".
