whats it like?
Life and Death?
Love and Hate?
Do you really know?
Is what you think, Whats real?
Are we just programed to believed this?
Whats it like?
to be normal?
never sick, never hurt, never to care...
Whats it like to never care?
Do you have a careful heart?
Have you experienced love?
Whats it like?
Anything like mine?
Do you plan on having kids?
What do you want them to look like?
Could you answer this?
What if i was a stranger...
Would you still answer?

every day somebody gets killed,
every day someone is born,
what would it be like if we all got along?
the world is blue, gray, green, ect.
People are black, white, thin, and fat
Can't we pretend not to notice?
It is really that hard?
Just look as if you were blind?
Don't see anyone
Then you can like someone for there personality
not beauty, or hair, or body
less fights
less deaths
less harrassments
4 out of 5 kids are bullied
wanna know why?
Because people judge by the outside,
save lives, act blind, look inside someone.
people are like books....
Don't know them til they open up
And like everybook
There all different

&ldquo;The capital-T truth is about life BEFORE death. It is about the real value of a real education, which has almost nothing to do with knowledge, and everything to do with simple awareness; awareness of what is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, all the time, that we have to keep reminding ourselves over and over: this is water. This is water.&rdquo;

Really love this!!! It's something so true and worth writing about! Well done! FYI I think in the last sentence you meant to use "they're" instead of "there." Feel free to check out some of my stuff!
