Hope, jokes, and dogs

There is light
There is darkness
The are men and women
There isn't real love anywhere

There is food, and restaurants
There are diseases, and sickness
There is traffic, and wars
There isn't real happiness anywhere

There are good days, and bad days
There is violence and bias
There isn't a world as we know it
There is a world that just isn't ... there

Overwhelmed by grief every day
People are hurt by everything that they've lost
Lovers and love they never had or kept
All the departed friends everywhere

They think of all the people
They've badly hurt, and embarrassed
And the lack of hope, jokes, and dogs
It turns into a disease, eating up hearts everywhere

So hurry up before it's too late
Find your loved one, and embrace
Unspoken words must be shared here, and there
So the world becomes better ... everywhere.
