Reflection

I choose from this day to be a better man
Not be swallowed by the pain that this world commands
Not be bland and accept mediocrity
Or deal others secret animosity
I choose to have success
Not just for me but aiding my peers
And showing love past immediate sphere
Touching lives much more than family and friends

I want to see change in my capacity
And a quest for love in my society
Drop all the fake dimes, drop the hypocrisy
We can't keep living from apology to apology
They say charity begins at home
But I believe it starts from the soul
Cause you can't give out what you don't own
Or find good in kids when bad seeds been sown

And I hope we see
That kindness ain't shit done with selfies
Egotistical wannabes
Only seeking deeds
For the likes we get when we post the feeds
Tis a shame
Cause away from the glass pane
It's greed and evil gain
Quick to tear down, entrap and disdain
Only the strongest make it sane, What a pity!

But I say
Fuck that mentality!
Fuck the games! fuck our present identity!
Fuck this madness and lack of clarity!
Fuck meetings of no integrity
I hope we get the right prescription
Not blurry to tell that we're hurting the next generation
Not silent when ought to be good intentions
Or sluggish in the face of destruction

And I hope to God we have a fighting chance
To understand
That this current plot of lies
Is rigging our beautiful home with mine
It's a ticking time bomb
Blown up in short time if we don't change
I'm choosing to transform
I'm choosing to transform
