Some don't appreciate nothing,
until they lose something.
Some don't appreciate friends,
until the relationship ends.
Some don't appreciate others,
until they lose their sisters and brothers.

Some don't appreciate love,
until hate starts to shove.
Some don't appreciate light,
until the dark of night.
Some don't appreciate sight,
until the eyes lose their might.

Quite a few don't appreciate joy,
until depression comes to destroy.
Many don't appreciate fun,
until they work hard under the sun.
Some don't appreciate appreciating,
they're too busy hate negotiating.

America didn't appreciate being terror free,
until the terrorist went on a domestic killing spree.
The world doesn't appreciate the U.S. effort,
but terrorist appreciate giving us discomfort.

In appreciation,
of appreciation,
I make this summation,
a complete dedication,
not leaving it to speculation,
that I do appreciate,
and can calculate,
as I simulate.
