People are Good

People are Good

People are good.

Though that’s not the impression we receive.

We are told

That they cheat

They lie and deceive.

But people are good.

People are good.

They always help out.

When the times are rough

It’s the people who are tough.

People are good.

It’s our leaders who reek.

Power corrupts

From the strong to the meek.

People are good.

They’ll always give you a hand.

Except when they are riled up

By leaders of the land.

Using fear and hatred

They incite to hysterical pitch.

Then sit back and smirk

While we die in the ditch.

But people are good.

They’re not filled with sin..

We know we’re not different

Whatever our skin.

People are good.
