1. Poem

I don't wish to talk love,

it gives nothing but grief.

 

I don't wish to struggle being happy,

let it just flow unto me naturally.

 

Let's talk compassion and kindness.

These are things enough to make us humans.

 

Why build castles in the air?

When we can make one on land.

 

Why not try to live for others?

Haven't we lived for ourselves enough?
