Nothing Gained

To live and to love,
To fall below and fly above,
A choice so hard to make
In this world of give and take.

To hurt and to cry,
To smile and walk by,
A choice so hard to make,
In this world of phoney and fake.

To inspire and to change,
To take away and to exchange,
A choice so hard to make,
In this world, this hate-filled lake.

To write and to read,
To kneel and to plead,
A choice so hard to make,
Just for someone elses sake.
