Short poem about life, giving and being selfless.
I'm mesmerized as I sit beneath the stars
Because somehow it helps me find who we truly are

Our lives are eternal through the gifts we've all been given
And when our time comes our actions will be forgiven

All of us are connected through the pathways of our souls
And when we live for others our hearts are occupied in full

We were created to be selfless and designed for compassion
But greed took the vulnerable like an emotionless assassin

We exist in a world controlled by the powerful and corrupted
Covered by the ashes of the anger that's erupted

But through the destruction the immortal continue to shine
Giving me rays of hope of what one day will be mine
