Hating each other

By Tegs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Look at the world and the state it is in.We can not help but hate each othercontinuously wallowing in this stateof self pity and egocentricity.The world does not matter, only our own petty lives.We seem to have no care at all for each other,our neighbours, our friends and our fellowsWe bomb them, we belittle them, and berate them.As a child you are punished for retaliating with violence,but governments and leaders are fully allowed,to carry out mass genocide, just because of your race.This small matter of religion, one taken so stronghas torn our world apart, and murdered so manyBurnt at the stake, run through with a sword,bombed from above, all in the name of the same God.Hating each other, comes so naturally,Whether religion or race, colour of face,we all are predjudiced, in one way or anotherWhy can't we hold hands? And face the fear together. Written October 12th, 2001 © on Oct 12 2001 01:54 PM PST   0 • 9
