Contrast from Acceptance by SLNCR

In a struggle of "perfection"
we lost sight of what's in front of us,
and bred a culture of regression
trying harder to regain the trust
that we had in ourselves and others
we held close, but what is left
when we're in the dirt?
In trying to make a difference
we became what we swore we'd never be.
If I die before this happens
I hope you all carry on where we left off.
I press my hands into the soil and write
"Those that are here when I'm gone,
I am so sorry for the way things left off.
This is my message to a dying world.
Remember that we are all tied together in this world
by a single thread of life with forces that we deem unknown.
If they see you different, or they use their hate to bring you down
just pick yourself up, and let these words ring loud;
be the change that you want to see in this world."
