We can be so severe
In all the ways we persevere
Trying to attain top tier
Why do we always appear
So Cool..nonchalant …
and so damn austere
Pushing it in high gear
Having the seemingly perfect carreer?
Holding up the perfect veneer..
To the rules of society we are trying to adhere
When after all we are so loving and dear!
What’s at the heart of all this fear?
Are you afraid you might disappear?
If someone sees you shed a tear?
If we catch you without all your gear?
If you allowed yourself to be more sincere?
What if we allowed love to steer?
Maybe it would be more easy..more clear?
What if we could actually cohere
In the way that we engineer
Our lives…together in peace and harmony..over here
No need to sneer..certainly not smear..
our coworker, competitor, or even our peer
Imagine…speaking only words that are genuine and sincere
Imagine co-existing while grinning ear to ear!
Maybe even sharing a craft beer!
just in time for Chinese new year!
