Life is so short.
Take a moment to feel alive.
I know all we meant was to expand and to thrive.
But we sharpened our claws and we went to war.
With ourselves, with each other, with the rich and with the poor.
With anyone different, who believes in less or more.
Step out of the shadow, cast by left and right wings.
Take refuge in each other and the triumph that it brings.
Since we stood on two feet, we've been worth so much more.
Now tear down the walls, that were built to divide,
It's time to extinguish that fire, that fire inside.

Positive and inquisitive individual- who at times, may appear aloof or downright trolling. I quote from lyrics, literature and lame material that pique my interests, whether they are meaningful or entertaining is irrelevant to me. Thanks for following ~

Spears and swords, Weapons alike. Used to murder, To kill, to strike. Guns and rifles, All things of pain. Why were they created, If they're for people to be slain. Bombs and gas, Everything wrong.
