In this flower of love

In this flower of love
Both color and perfume
We widen narrow hearts
Into an open bloom

My love, your love, touching
Behind each other's eyes
To see, to feel, to know
The ultimate of prize

Here lies the tragedy

Here lies the tragedy
When we are unable
To feel as others feel
Peace becomes unstable

To only walk in shoes
Accustomed to your feet
Will only find questions
And answers of defeat

Diversity is not

Diversity is not
Dangerous decadence
Music is not one note
Held at a perfect stance

There's so many answers
Infinite ways to live
Opposing opinions
Too unwilling to give

Vulgar truth all wrapped up

Vulgar truth all wrapped up
In a Puritan style
Christianity boasts
While crimes in denial

Continue to surface
Hypocritical life
Heaven-made warriors
Justifying their knife

Looking back, I question

Looking back, I question
Stupid youth! Who was I?
A barnacle attached
To a ship passing by

Sacrificing myself
Girl and a volcano
Trying to keep peace and
Put out an inferno

We never held a sword

We never held a sword
We only had a shield
To deflect and protect
And then yield after yield

To find ourselves AWOL
A white flag victory
We never went to war
But fought with chivalry

Wanting to understand

Wanting to understand
We built bridges and crossed
Only to be scolded
And find our efforts tossed

And an invitation
To experience Us
Always resulted with
Us thrown under a bus
