"Oh sacred heart of Jesus, I have full trust in thee." - my grandmother told me that.


Why is our community so separated
With no one hanging out and the streets look vacated
Why are we separated, is it because of greed
That money is important and the fuel to succeed
Are we separated because were filled with pride
Pushing people out of the way who block your good side
Perhaps the real reason behind this is hate
People turning away from others in a high rate
These are the reasons why we're so apart
With many of us hurt and have broken hearts
Trying to get along with others seems unable
People looking at others like their labels
Due of this, thousands suffer from the lack of liberty
Greed, pride, and hate only gives us death and misery
Our world cannot continue like this
There are many things we have to dismiss
Greed is the first one to mend
As it poisoned the good in men
We need to form a strong unity
So dismiss greed, bring in humanity
Pride makes people push others out of the way
That type of torture has to stop today
So shut the door on pride, open up to others
Treat them well like they are your sisters and brothers
Hate definitely needs to go
It interferes with the daily flow
Its evil must be disposed of
So cast it away, bring in love
The new elements are exactly what we need
They are better than hatred, foolish pride, and greed
Use them to heal and bring back your community
Doing this you are making opportunities
Opportunities to get everyone back together
To have fun and play games, no matter the weather
Imagine a community filled with pleasure and joy
Where everyone is well treated, every girl and boy
Create it in your neighborhood and watch the happiness grow
Let's do it together, and let’s make a brighter tomorrow.
