Why is life dead?
is peace impossible?
is hatred bred?
is war unstopable?
Why do people hate,
and decide to descriminate
on others worse off than
themselves? Who can
afford to make others feel worse?
Why do brothers
turn against brothers in the blink
of an eye? Don't people think
that everything they do feeds a whole
chain of things that affect other people
negatively?
"Because a man unlike me is not
a man at all. I have fought
different battles than he,
so it's a different story with me.:
"Because I'm in the right, and they are
in the wrong. This isn't too far."
"Because we need someone to blame
for everything. Everyone does it. It's sort of a
..game."
No.
Because it's much easier to hate a
-nother soul rather than admit it and say
you're in the wrong. Because it's easy
to point a gun and kill. Or is that a cheesy
example? 'Cause I can think of a ton
of others. But i'll stick to one:
The reason love is dead, war rages on, gun against gun
is a distinct lack of the ability to love another person.
Think about it: everyone preaches peace and
love, right? Wouldn't it be grand
if it could happen today?
But, i guess that's easier to say
.. Because how absurd is it to ask them
to practice what they teach? To
ask them to actually do
what they're asking from us
instead of just making a fuss?
It just seems like, to me,
that everything we look around and see
that we don't like in this home
we've made for ourselves, could be solved by our own
choice to just stop the hate and actually start
to think of everyone else as a family member. with a heart
and a soul, and the same as everyone else, just looking for
acceptance. Love. Something more
than what they're getting now from those
people around them who dont really care. but that's how it goes.
because nothing will change the world, not protest, not
this poem, nothing will change. until people have fought
enough and finally decide it's
now. now is the time for change. our fits
of anger and jealousy and hatred and war
just breed the same, and sometimes more
than it started with in the first time.
I accuse no one, on no one do i blame for this crime.
but do keep this in mind: a lot of problems could be lessened or solved
if one person makes the choice to become evolved
and love.
