One is one too many

Edthepoet

Uneducated children
Spreading hate online
Desensitised people
Filming misplaced racism fights
One is one too many victims
Of a suicide for likes
The right blame the left and the left blame the right

Drones dropping missiles in the dead of night
Innocent children orphaned in the morning light
One is one too many victims of
Genocide for a healthy share price
The lies hide the truth and the truth hides the lies

7 billion culpable minds,
Incapable of seeing the light
unity will endlessly provide.
Bring us forth from our caves of darkness, that give us a deluded sense of invincibility, and let us meet out on the fresh green grass, let our feet feel each soft green blade run along our arch, let us finally see each other equally
Let us love at once and speak forever freely
Let us, not them, decide what it means to be, a human being.

    Nice one Ed, if only eh? I would truly support your stance here with the proviso that everyone else take the same stance on the day. Trouble is, some people follow a religion which teaches them to hate.... oh..religion being either spiritual or monetary.
    Do me a favour, have a look at the piece 'Charlie' i posted yesterday please.

    Very good write and so true. The Hippies back in the 1960s had it right "Make love, not war"
