Remember when the world seemed ok
We had problems while the kids played
At times we didn’t share the same views
Angst rose and gave teenagers the blues
A pivotal point where did our world stray
Hate grows and holds true justice at bay
Litigate society simply for things we say
A world striving solely for likes and ok’s
Differences which separate you from me
Have we yet learned from our own history
Train up a child in the way which to go
Abstain from hate and allow love to flow
Society is in battle and we have far to go
Let common ground be the seed to sow
