Conquering Hate
A plague passed from generation to generation
Bouncing around from nation to nation
Seems like we'll never escape this curse
Throughout time it only gets worse
Wars over religion seemed quite odd
Just worship differently but to the same God
Bloodshed just for being unlike the other
We have the same father are you not my brother
Just one example, there are plenty more
From beyond the ceiling to beneath the floor
List as long as the ages
All we're doing is adding pages
From politics, religion, sexuality and race
Seems the hate is only changing face
All of it makes no sense to me
How as humans are we divided so easily
Do we not breathe the same air?
Even though we have different skin and hair
Noses, body types, ears and eyes
We bleed blood and live under the same skies
But but but we don't all think the same
So, we’re dealt different hands in life's gam
Doesn't mean we should take another's light
For things that won't matter at the end of night
Causes meant to unify, media uses to seperate
Then make us the cause of the hate
Before you know it we're at each others throat
Still missing the fact that we're on the same boat
So drop your guns, cease the aggression
Let's work towards ending mental segregation
Spread love and understanding in every nation
Time to start humanity's transformation
We are but one race and that is the human race
We live, we die, we just have a different face
Stop blaming the whole for the actions of a few
Love conquers hate. That's all we need to do
If you disagree the problem is you

Love is......"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails" 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 It is the first thing we ever truly feel Yet we wonder if it's really real Searching for something true Just someone who means it when they say "I love you" The concept of love has morphed over the years Changed by insecurities and fears Selfishness, conditions and the need for a title Why can't it be simply as it is in the bible Your love can abuse you Say sweet things to use you Say and act like they'll always be there When in reality they never did care How can you love someone and cause them pain Using something so precious, in vain Covering up with being human as an excuse Yea we fall short, to lean ... |

For Women not GirlsProvide, Protect and Profess If he loves you, you'll never stressAt least not about how he will feelBecause at the very least, thats realThough there is no perfect manHe stil should do all he canMay not do all three from the startThe desire to should be in his heartTime should make his devotion strongerHow far he's willing to go should be longerAt some point you should be number oneIf it never happens eventually it'll be doneYea everyone has their own paceSome wait for the right time and placeBut ask yourself are you smiling more than cryingDo you even see him tryingEverything is 50 50 it takes twoDoes he put in as much effort as youDon't submit to a false low self-esteemTo live a nightmare you call a dreamYou're no longer that insecure young girlObsessed with clothes, make up and a hair curlOr who is popular and who dates who... |
My ThoughtsReally? Has my life come to this Tskong this with a side of pissSuck behind what feels like a locked doorCan't end here, there has to be moreSo full of it, most days strain my heartSometimes I rather just starve for my artPush myself to make it for a mealHarsh life until I my dream realNot to reap but to simply reciteAnd make heard the things I writeWith my stage fright and allEven if shortly after I fallA year of that is ten times better than the last fourRecently feeling like a company whore Well I guess a prostitute cause I get a checkThough none of it is worth the disrespectBut why quit there to find another dead endThere's just more river around the riverbendFigured when im fed up and throughI'll dive into what I love to doIt makes sense to me anywayJust waiting for that dayLeaving this normalityTurn my thoughts to r... |
