Maybe Not

Is it wrong to love us?
Us, meaning humanity
Is it wrong to dream of a brighter tomorrow?
Is it wrong to hope for the better?
To finish the story
To know we have done something to answer at least one injustice
And while we think of judgment
We are not too feeble to judge ourselves
To strive for fairness and impartiality
So that the punishment does fit the crime
Or are you right when you begin to think it will be nothing as everything else is………?
Do you know?
Or more important, do you care?
What have we achieved through giving up?
So much can be done to make one day count
If you allow for it, it only takes one for everything to matter
The struggles are signs that we are free
Many things have changed through our rights and our wrongs, it does matter
Is it wrong to say it's more than this, that, or the other?
Yes, society is rather corrupt
But do not despair, there are enough who aren't greed driven and addicted to money
Some do show bravery despite fences and hooks
And there are even some people who are well content with just a little
Strange as it sounds
But the green paper can be rendered powerless
Young and old can be taught to give it a rest
Lives may one day be dearly sought
The vicious circle unclasped
There is so much to keep going for
Sorry, I doubt it
