A HUG

People can be so stupid

People can be so heartless

So blind to pain

So blind to the love craving cries

They are breaking

Looking for compassion

Will they ever find it ?

Will people ever understand them?

Not a single word

Not a hug

Just a bottle of pills

To calm them down

When they are sad

When they need love

Just a bottle of pills

To calm them down

They don’t understand

That the heart is different

Not like the brain

It doesn’t need pills

It doesn’t need bottles

It just needs a little warmth

They turn to pills

To calm them down

They don’t realise

A hug can solve it all

They send them for help

And don’t realise

Their hands can heal it all

They can help them

They can heal them

With a simple thing

Called a hug
