How can you learn to love
When all you see is hate?
If this is all you see
It’s all you know
And love, for you, you really don’t know
How do you believe in yourself
When others constantly put you down?
If this is all you get
It’s all you know
And confidence, for you, you really don’t know
How do you learn to have peace
If all around you is violent?
If this is all you endure
It’s all you know
And peace, for you, you really don’t know
Personalities are shaped by experiences
And if all you experience are bad times
How do you ever know how to turn
Something bad into something good?
Sometimes people can’t change their situations
Because all they know tells them
They never could

So true.. This is some of who I minister to. If we want a better world, we must teach that it is possible and we must show how. Serving God is so much more rewarding than serving oneself and/or man. ❤ I'm excited to read your book! (((hugs)))
Thanks for checking out my site Lail. And I totally agree with what you have said here. We have to help show people the way to be better, with God’s help. This is actually one of the featured poems in my book. Thanks for the follow on Twitter too!
Congratulations you nailed the sentiment perfectly!
From one poet to another – may your new book be successful – may your book be bought from your site like donuts and coffee on a workday morning! ~
Bless-sings
