You know that saying; 'Be careful what you wish for'?

--**************************************--

When every smile is beautiful,
and every tear will count,
and imperfection is the only thing we live without.

When no-one is invisible,
and all the world will hear,
and others' voices fading out is what we truly fear.

When protestors stop protesting,
for there's nothing left to say,
when poverty is kissed goodbye and sweetly waved away.

When loneliness is peaceful,
and a broken heart a dream,
and when you make a promise, it's a word you really mean.

When there's nothing left to fight for,
no tears left to shed,
this is when the purpose of the human race is dead.
