childhood laughter your release from being

stuck good or bad in a catholic school where

wooden paddles burnt your bare bottom

 

why is a question that most people can't

truly answer as truth, or lies, for each of us 

have lost our own experiences that once

 

had shaped our minds to believe in ourselves

but now we have been indoctrinated as we

grew up to believe in the words of lying

 

ego's looking for profits instead of helping 

human beings with independent ideas rather than

words that instill in us a behavior of intense hate

 

which creates barriers to our future hopes,

our future lives put on hold to bow to wealth

and leave behind our truths, our own ideas

 

as this planet spins out of control with

irrational thoughts producing more and 

more violence and human death for power

 

we need more than just a physical presence

undermining our hopes for a better future

we must press forward extending a helping

 

hand to those in dyer straits, all of us, for

just a colorful smile can relieve one of the

extensive brutality of those without morals

 

or a common grouping of men expressing

hate toward other human beings without 

opening their hearts toward their futures
