Take a Chill Pill

Innocence so pure and free Like children playing so happily Holding hands signing cheerfully Smiles so big the world can see The happy kids we began the same Time passes by and it all disappears The blink of an eye darkness appears Pure joys turned to now sudden fears Out of control like changeable gears The victimised adult now the majority That infantile purity suddenly misplaced A haze of confusion and anger are faced Where has the joy gone in all this haste Such bitterness one’s mouth can taste The confused and lost we all seek for more Like a pill of thrilling ecstasy consumed If only this easy the world could assume Once pure and joyous innocence to resume Too high or enlightened to continually feud The time to remember we are all just humans As easy as a chill pill we all could simply take To forget the years bitterness that built our hate Return that pure innocence locked behind our own gate Restoring humanity in all and seal us a good fate The way we could all be simply happy and free
