Be Kind

They teach us to behave
They tell us what to do
What to think
What to feel
They tame us
They make us one of them
But have you ever noticed that
They barely know themselves
Yet they tell you all you need to know about
The others
The different
They barely know what they want
Yet they tell you the intentions of
The others
The different
They barely get in touch with their emotions
Yet they know that the others hate us
Want us eliminated

What a weird world
What a weird society

As they teach me who I should be
I look aside and see a flower
A wildflower
Fierce, free and beautiful
How wonderful
To live peacefully
To love and accept everybody
So in this world full of mud
I’d like to be a flower
