DON'T BE SO SERIOUS

Original Poem Written & Narrated by Allié & Jack McGuire

​In serious times when humanity’s course correction is required for us to survive and thrive, it’s hard to know what to do in order to be part of the solution as opposed to the problem. This we know for sure, we need catch one another when we fall and together fly ever upward and onward.

Don’t be so serious.

But serious you can’t help but be
In times of such uncertainty 
When the survival of our humanity
Is threatened by unjust casualties. 

Don’t be so serious.

You say people die every day
But not like this, not this way
On both sides there’s a cost they pay
As the innocent in the ground they lay.

Don’t be so serious.

Too many gone before their time,
While there’s no reason, I’ll rhyme,
In hopes that hope will chime 
From our will to redefine…

Humanity.

It’s the human cause,
That binds us all with reason to pause,
Reflecting on our innate laws
To love each other despite our flaws.

Don’t be so serious.
Catch me when I fall…

You can’t unhear a call once heard
Despite the norm preferred.
Be of your heart, be of your word.
When called to fly, you are a bird.
