What's right?

I was having a feelings jam with myself.

I have no words that sound original

But everyone is beginning to understand

That to be ourselves, a single individual

We need all the help we can

Retreive in this broken society

A place with no unity 

Groups that all need to see eye to eye

Yet it's hard when we're all different heights

I'm no saint but I live for what's right

And what's right to me may be wrong to you

But I have a few words, please, listen

There's so much wrong going on

with the world yet we bicker

About views that we don't deem right, opinions that differ

But here we sit ignoring the bigger picture

Something that no one seems to be managing to hold onto

It's not our differences that separate it's our inability

To cohabitate and adapt to the strange unknown around us

I don't think that we should walk by each other keeping secrets

Ignoring what we all have on our minds, keeping it hush hush

But some times you have to grow up and think

About what's right for us as a whole instead of what's right for a few

Yeah you may not agree with me and I probably don't agree with you

But we only have one life to mold, one fight to make us bold

And face what we are normally too afraid to go after alone

It may look different to all of us, but we're fighting the same battle

Riding the same bus, there's no reason to argue and divide

When we can join forces and survive, the best way we can

No one man is better or more superior than the other man

Why sit when we can stand, why stay still when we can feel

If we can feel, we can move what moves us and one day

We could all dance, to the same rhythm, same parts

Cause if you look at it this way, we all have the same

Beating hearts, the same red blood, something that

we all seem to forget

We're all so different and even still

We have more in common than we'd like to admit

And some of us can't see passed it

This pit we've fallen in, we were once outside of it

Standing on equal ground, fighting within solid boundaries

Now we're scrambling helpless trying to climb up

To gain back what was never really ours in the first place

A place to live, a place to build on and stay strong

Here we all share the same air and walk on the same dirt

But there's no safe place we can truly call home

On this great wide planet we call earth

We all hide from ourselves while fighting ourselves

No rest, no peace, we can't seem to qualm ourselves

What are we really trying to gain by tearing each other apart

From the inside, when we can't even mend others on the outside

We're all so focused on doing the right thing but 

What is even fair to call right?

To figure it out, that is our plight.

Just normal thoughts I have. Don't think about it too much.

This is really good. You break down society so simply that it is almost like slapping me with itself. Nicely done and I'd love to see more from you!
