Fundamental Revival

Being alive really is a miracle,

So it is especially important

To do anything essential,

And focus on the fundamental

While going beyond survival,

So hope that all would thrive

Since being human is natural,

And do anything it takes

To learn from

onset mistakes

Because it is never too late

To start over again,

So let the heart spread love

While remaining as hopeful as a peaceful dove

By letting go of shameful hate,

And by trying to appreciate
