When Will the Peace Begin?

Have you ever been lied to? Judged or picked on?

Do you truly know the difference between right and wrong?

If you suddenly have an answer to that question,

Can you admit to witnessing domestic aggression?

 

Haven't we all been bullied? Physically or mentally abused?

Can you relate to being cheated on or missed used?

If you can replay the moment when you felt like nothing,

Would you be the person to stand up and do something?

 

Have you ever watched someone's smile disappear or fade away?

What did they do to be thrown so far at bay?

Can you imagine where all the saddened people have run or hide?

Do you know what it's like to keep pain on the inside?

 

Will you speak up if someone is threatened or mistreated?-

Would you help prevent a past from being repeated?

Have you ever wanted to give up or stop trying?

You can be the change that keeps one's life from dying.
