see no evil, speak no healing

First draft, strong start, good ending.

and sir, it's like you walk up here
like you know, or I know
something we don't need to bring up with words.
and so sir, I'm not gonna pretend that
there's time to spend on
mourning, lamenting and too much contemplating
on the things that aren't worth changing.

And yeah, sir, they were right.
there is seven that will kill you. they just
messed up a few.
Greed, yeah they got that one
but they forgot most.
Greed, apathy, ignorance, complaint,
indulgence, destruction and fear

Because yeah, I agree we need to change.
but there's seven deadly sins and
a lot of broken hearts.
So love hard and remember your life before love
live until they kill you, and try to change their minds.
There's too much hurt and
too little change.
Take chances, dance ungracefully
and grant one and other grace.
I dare you to believe in justice, in the righting of wrongs
Because when we become jaded, it means we become everything we once hated.
