In. Out. All-around. 

Our world is full of things to astound. 

 

Yet, as a people, we are not close

to the vast potential to be most. 

 

Hate surrounds our abode,

yet, we are the source from where it flows. 

 

In. May we, as people, prioritize 

the internal healing process and not compromise.

 

See, before we can start looking out,  we must look in. 

If we don't, then our abiilty to assist runs thin.

 

The world's issues run rampant. 

But, our actions to fight mustn't go stagnant. 

 

Hunger and Suicide, 

Addiction and Pride.

 

To each their own predestined fault, 

with apathy towards inward progress, propels a global halt.

 

News, media, and the TV says to look out,

but with progress within, we can eradict this drought.

 

Out. An uneducated doctor boasts a empty mind. 

The person without inward progress is just as blind. 

 

Inward progress educates the helping heart,

resembling opening up a patient's medical chart. 

 

The wolves will claim this as selfish.

Yet, without it, it claims a funeral for our Wish.

 

For we are enabled to sympathize with others, 

for we share identical issues with our brothers. 

 

Evil possesses no innovative thoughts,

To each individual, he shoots the same shots.

 

We find ourselves seeking comfort.

We have the tools to cut pain short. 

 

All around. Homosexuals and Heterosexuals.

Flee from the callow mind that one is acceptable.

 

Right-Wing or Left or inbetween.

Can't we see hate is his scheme?

 

White, Yellow or Black.

Skin is a reason to attack?

 

Unification is the reason we are alive. 

Without it, we cannot thrive. 

 

In, out, and all-around, if we connect, we will blossom. 

Why? We are meant to be awesome
