Many years of suffering
Many years of needless pain
Stop the fighting
Stop the lying
For the cycle to end, we must mean it.
Kindness is a phenomenon that starts slow but quickly spreads like wildfire.
Show an enemy a heart of gold.
At first they may burn full of anger, do not fret,
With persistence the fire of anger will burn out and they will soon see the sign.
Show someone scared the courage within.
Then they will gain strength to stand brave and tall.
If we let this pain drag on, we will kill ourselves.
We will kill the hope born with tomorrow.
The earth underneath us suffers greatly due to our selfish deeds.
Do not blame today’s problems on those who lived yesterday.
Do not blame today’s problems on those who think differently.
Stop acting like it does not matter.
Stop thinking that there is nothing that you can do.
For the problem was made; therefore, somewhere out there,
Somewhere deep inside of us lies the answer and the hope for tomorrow.
