You are given voices to sing praises
Not to speak ill of others
You are given hands to create things
Not destroy the good work of freedom fighters
You are given ears to hear good music
Not hear slander and gossip
You have a good pair of eyes
But you chose to be blind to injustice
You have feet to take you to places
Not stand still, feel safe
while others are beaten to their deaths
You cannot fight ignorance, intolerance
malice and prejudice with vengeance
Hate is Hate
No matter how you want to interpret it.
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
will just lead everyone blind and toothless
Maybe if we all act as one unit
and stop acting like our neighbor is different
We can actually experience Peace
and not just dream it.
