Butterflies

A world where butterflies

As a creature and a feeling

Are trampled an supressed

A world where man cannot love fellow man

Without being spat upon by man

Angered by his own shallow fears

A world where hunger eats a people

And love spreads deadly disease

Aid goes undone by the wealthy and plastic

A world where God is feared

Unknown, blamed, and held sacred

Our mute prayers unanswered to our deaf ears

A world where quality and quantity are confused

Where cheapness overpowers brotherhood

And truth is hidden more than unknown

Wake up I call to this world

From visions of grandeur

The nightmares are real and I...

I still need the butterflies!
