Morality: a question unanswered

Though be the world a beautiful creation I see the cracks and imperfections
I see the pain and hurt on an innocent child's face
I see the betrayel and fear of a victim of violence
I see much too clearly now

It's all shades of grey
No right, no wrong
We do what we need to do to survive, to save a life, to protect another
Morality is a question unanswered
I thought I knew the world, I thought it was black and white
There was only right or wrong now there is only existing

My heart is heavy with the weight of the world
We sin against each other, we sin against God
Some feel regret and shame; some feel nothing at all
I want to solve the problem but I can't do it alone

We were made to beautiful creatures
But instead our humanity weighs us down
Deep into a pit of selfishness and desire for our own needs and no other
Some still have light inside their souls
But we get eaten up by the darkness
Devouring our hope to fight for change to come

Rejection, betrayel and regret eats away slowly
We fight to hope in a world meant to swallow us up
We fight everyday to be happy when it seems like there is no end to the problems daily

Do not judge the woman who whores herself out when she has no money
Do not judge the crack addict on the street asking for money to feed his addiction
Do not judge the man who hits his wife when he gets angry

Instead feel compassion, feel something stronger than hate for these lost souls
Know they are trying to fight through their problems just like you
Who of us doesn't have a secret vice to calm our cries
What would the world be like if we chose to love those who we don't understand
Instead of letting fear of someone who is different get in the way

We all our beautiful imperfections
We have the chance to be something so amazing we can't fathom
How much we all deserve love and compassion

Hatred does not exist without fear
Fear is nothing if not felt
