I do not like the pressure

that the social world

can put on us

Like when it dictates the feelings

in the lives of those among us

With double standards

We can’t handle

They think it’s fine to con us

Destroying lives

With their logic

*

If we find true wisdom

Life becomes less toxic

Above all

Appreciating strong effort

To be more kind and honest

**

I cannot stand the tension

That the economy throws at us

Like when we can’t agree

That all of our conflicting views matter

Different standards

We work to handle

Sometimes our mirror shatters

*

I’m open to your vision and opinion

But not because it is the fashion

Above all

Looking for good intentions

Understanding

and compassion

**

Above all

Remember we are one

We are

All part of this world and universe

Just one

We have a collective consciousness

This experience compares to none

*

When one of us has a feeling

We will all have that feeling

Before all is said and done

I like to think this way

If we all did

More justice would surely come

Under our only sun

*

Above all

We are only one

**

To Hell with Hypocrisy

With which higher-ups

Try to lead us

Like when they tell us

What they think’s right

Then totally mistreat us

With such low standards

In days we handle

They think they can defeat us

In the end there’s always payback

*

By sharing fair insights

Improve the life we take back

Above all

Be more conscious of our impact

On those who really need us

**

Above all

Remember we are the only one

We are

All a part of this world and universe

Just one

We have a collective awareness of Earth

This experience compares to none

*

When one of us has a feeling

We will all have that feeling

Before all is said and done

I like to think this way

If we all did

More empathy would surely come

More compassion would surely come

More justice would surely come

Under our only sun

*

Above all

We are only one
