walking a mile in someone's shoes
let us write a treaty
peace vs. peace
and a few other words
maybe we'll see
the better side
of the looking glass
We do things.
Sometimes, because of want.
Half the time, because we need.
We have carved castles into mountains.
Built bridges over oceans.
Planted steel and cement
that grew into skyscrapers
touching the sky
almost but not quite.
we are alright
almost but no quite.
The reporter was talking
In front of the camera
Disconnected and disjointed
I wonder if she cries at night
The light catches your hair and turns it gold
from coal
you are beautiful
maybe if you stop looking at yourself in the mirror
you would see what i see
I don't know which road to take
The path laid out for me
Or the one I want to make
Choices choices choices
They make you who you are
Not which family you've been born into
Or the color of your skin
Not the language that you speak
Or the land of your birth
This I know to be true
Your choices define what kind of person you are
What kind of person am i?
