And I start to wonder…
I wonder what would happen
If our love for our fellow man
was greater than the
love we show for a beer can
Would our hallways not echo so loud
with the footsteps of shame and regret?
Would the laughter we hear
ring of joy instead
I wonder why they wear their weekends like badges of honor
What will you do
with those tomorrow?
Hang them on your
wall
next to your family
pictures
Years from now share them with your grandkids
expressing how they
built your family name
Or maybe let your 14-year-old daughter wear them
to walk in your path
passed out on a
Friday night
another victim
whose story last only two minutes on the news
But whose scars will never truly heal
I wonder...
They wear their confessions like shades
Oh so cool
Never revealing their eyes
Because when you have to see something more than a screen
You have to face who you express to be
In the eyes of those
around you
I wonder what happen to the definitions of
Friendship
Honor
Pride
Because I believe this life is more than a digital tag
I believe in L
ove
In living up to our
greatness
