What defines us...
written by AJCrazyEyes
What defines us...
It's not the city
Where we were born
Nor the state,
Not even the nation
We were raised
It's not our color
Nor our genre
It's not the fame
Not even our different taste
It's not our sexual orientation
Not even our age
What defines us...
It is not our political affiliation
Nor religion we have an obsession with
And it's also not the fact
That we don't follow a religion
It's not the number of likes and dislikes
On some famous social media
And not even the number of friends
In our common/mediocre real life
It's not our clothes
Not even our health
Nor our football team or baseball
Or another sport we don't understand
What defines us is our behavior,
Our endeavors, our attitudes, our actions
It's not what we say, but what we do
If our speech is glad,
But our actions are empty,
Are non-existent
In fact, in this case, this is hypocrisy
This is self-promotion
Selfishness, selfishness, selfishness
When we make pretty speeches
About collective things
And our real intention
It's individual and It's for our own benefit
Being in the center
In the center of attentions
Overvaluing the pain
Overvaluing our brain
As we get rich, we gain fame,
Status, followers, bootlickers
But we keep being indecent
By inside, by behind
Then the majority of lives
Remain lost, in poverty
Suffering in their souls
Sad inside
We are selfish, I also said It
But we can improve it
If we put it into practice
If we have such good attitudes
Genuine, for real
So... what defines us?
Evolving is attitude
Evolving is to keep believing
Evolving happens on a daily basis
Even if we're not even filming
Nor showing to the world
Our happy faces
Day after day
Genuinely improve every day
Having the silence as a powerful thing
Into an alliance of courage
Of self-respect, of patience
Without indolence, without negligence
We still need to learn how to live in harmony
Respecting ourselves and everyone else
In this immense and intense world of change
But we need to put it into practice with intelligence
