Just a thought...

Not too keen on this one... The internal rhymes kinda cute, though.

Here’s one for the optimists, the ones who can’t say “die”

Everyone who’s ever told us “turn your face up to the sky, and

Count the stars beyond the clouds.  Watch the crimson sunset or you’re wasting life;

And it’s too good to miss!”

 

Here’s one for the pessimists, the ones who can’t see why

Everyone who’s every asked us “tell me why you love your country,

All the things destroying life.  I was to know the reason you’re rejecting love;

Here’s one for the rest of us, all we who just don’t care

Everyone whose goal in life is just to say “Hell I was there,

I wrote my life out, sang that song, and I know now

That I was never wr-”

-music stops, as though the band don’t expect it-

This is great! The rhyme is very catchy, but that's not why I call it great. There's obviously some thought in this, even if it was on subconscious level. I think people could come away from this work having learned different things, which is wonderful. Very moving, well done.
