Jaded

There are diamonds in the rough that shine through darkness
Goodness has more power than hatred stored
Changes in thought starts within you it is needed to enlighten the world
With the same causes of positive affect

The healing tools waking up slumber from millions of years of oppression
Economic recession with many people in depression
Battles of wars lost in detention
Anger rising no longer in a suppressed state
Manifests in major explosions killing hopes and dreams without devotion


To love the masses from many classes of melting pot
Stewing in its own juices overflowing in flavor no longer with taste
Savor the moments instead of having thorns in your side
Life is for the living do it with pride
There are no free rides to freedom a price is always paid
When you don't listen to your heart jaded to universal need


Shelly Wiseberg, 2007
