we know

we enter the world with innocence,
unschooled in callous and cruel.
time goes on and sadly we learn,
this world and its bass ackwards rules.
we also learn the joy of free will
and taking the road we choose.
if the path is toward kindness,
compassion and caring.
we can never lose.
so come on board, there
is plenty of room.
the ship of true humanity is
sailing.
if we stand together,
as a team.
there will be no room
for failing.
