there she stands

there she stands  -  so full of fear
tho it's source is not quite clear

sometimes she blames it all on me
yet i don't see how that could be

feelings seem to slow her down
turn her smile into a frown

perhaps she fears just what she is
would rather be what she calls his

all of this just makes no sense
the pain i see just makes me wince

i know that this could not be right
for all of us to be uptight

it's said that truth will set us free
an open heart can clearly see

that all must be just what they are
no more to wish upon some star

the gift of love is found within
in our own essence all are kin

but this is never found in thought
that's the scam that we all bought

life and love are all ways giving
that's not how we have been living

greed and fear now rule our lives
and it gets worse with all our tries

peace is never found through war
it brings more hatred to our door

one must love all life in kind
it's ourselves we must remind
