The safety of society, is defined in glee;

Smile at your fellow man,

Look them in their eyes real deep.

If life is like a prison,

Let it be you who shapes it with a chisel.

There's enough of life's gold,

To fill a broken vessel.

Don't listen to your nemesis, inside your brain.

The condition of this world will hide in pain,

You're the body through which it delivers it's tragedy.

Don't become a part of the problem in society.

Bring about the great reform in all its variety.

It's every face on this earth in your entirety.

Safety instead of gold can be society,

Don't snooze another alarm until the cry is deep.
