A BETTER PLACE WITHOUT

 

A BETTER PLACE WITHOUT

                           If only we could hold on to water but at a grasps                          

Slips though our hands as you hold on tight to nothing

Can’t control the disasters which awaken this broken world we live upon

 Only to have us fall under all the lies, secrets, betrayal and danger

We take a breath and inhale the surroundings that our eyes might meet having that effect who we are

Missing the true value of this world to not stop and think on

 How the world could be a better place … leaving gaps of a solution

On what a better place has to offer

A better place without the lost souls who roam the halls debating between today or tomorrow

To see lives taken by a bullet of steel with no purpose to suddenly reach a beating heart

Then to listen and hear no sound

CURRUPTION of innocent children suffering the price of death

A better place without fear of acceptation behind a computer screen

Thinking the amount of followers or likes will make people notice you more as a person

Losing the insight of the importance which is stored within us all

Only to look in the mirror and see a stranger with no guidance

Just to be you

A better place without the central provider to slowly disappear from the family portrait

A “father”

Having a child forced to fill the shoes of a man simply to reveal an empty child

Without hands to fall to but to drop

Fathers left to soon to catch you

A better place without a million hands pointing against you

Confused and don’t know which way to turn

So you follow the footsteps leading you in a cage with no freedom

Having your dreams play out like a movie just for pretend

Where you are the actor having the curtains close

 You become stuck in a nightmare called LIFE

Wishing if only you would have been different and walked in a better direction

A better place without everything enforcing you to fall off a cliff to fame

Believing if you act out that maybe someone will see potential

Waiting too long on the shortcut way of life that you forget the method to success

Failure is just a map leading you to success but you have to want to follow it

To stop depending on everyone and be independent and stand on your own

To say you made it with hard work and determination

A better world without I can’t but, more I can

 To not let your background, where you are from or you’re situations you’ll in today stop you from where you’re headed tomorrow

A better place without the pride in money

Thinking you’re better with a few rolled up dollar bills

Don’t think you are exempt from destruction

You decided to laugh at the poor but; the last laugh will not be on you

But, to the man upstairs

How life comes full circle having you walk in the shoes of a poor man

I bet you thought it wouldn’t happen to you

But reality has a way of sneaking  up behind you

A better place without people thinking a balled up fist will solve all their problems

Thinking as each hit will make people respect you

The gain of power

You assume you walk away as a winner as the enemies lies down

Hopeless, hurt and heartbroken not only does

It harms you but, everyone around you

And that punch will catch up to you

So use your hands to grab dreams not a court case

A better place without the lack of confidence and drive to push forward

When times get harder you just decide to give up because of a little heat 

 Cutting yourself short by passing up those extra advantages because it means for you to convey more

To settle for that 70% label just enough to get by

Instead of working over the expectations

Because once that 70% runs out you’re already off the edge

You have to prove yourself to the world

Show anyone you got what it takes

Not being someone people look passed and think that you don’t have the ability

To look at the world dead in the eyes and say BRING IT

That you can prove anyone wrong and be bold in what you could do

Looking high beyond the sky but at the stars

It’s time to open our eyes and, see what a better place really means

It’s not always about fixing the big things in life

But taking a closer look at the little things that can sometimes mean the most

It takes us ALL as people to improve ourselves and help each other when we fall down

Not to pass up our brothers and sisters but give a hand to reach victory together

That’s what makes this world a better place

So when are you going to be the start on what a BETTER PLACE LOOKS WITH INSTEAD OF WITHOUT …
