Love the World

Sometimes the world may call us to hate
As if she darkens each and every person's fate
Drowning the light until it's no more
Pulling away the rope to safety's shore

But while we sit here, unending struggle
Sometimes we wish for someone to huggle :)
Not even gods, or God, or supernatural things
Just the warmth and love a human can bring

But I know that I won't receive such affection
Partly because I don't want to be confined by such
Hypocritical thoughts, feelings, hollow love
And that does make me want to... hate the world

But rather, even with this ugly love we hold
It can defend the world, if we may be so bold
To lift our lamps up to the sky
Blessing the world for days gone by

I don't think this world will try
To embrace our souls or wave goodbye
But her trials and pains upon us she gives
Help us understand just why we live

For others, for family, for friend
Maintaining a truthful heart till the end
Maybe her sticks and stones she throws
Give us more than light, aglow

It seems so weird, how she might
Actually care for us in the night
Moon to shine, sun to rise
As the coldness slowly dies

Broken hearts and broken dreams
She only came to break and crush it seems
But beneath her seemingly icy gaze
Is a true desire for us to raise

Our souls toward healing her
Because she cries out to us
To save her
<3

That's why we have to
Love the world
Because it...

Loves us too
