Hate!
Such a strong word,
falls from our lips so easily.
Is present all around us.
Causing pain
Causing hurt
Causing loss.
Loss of material things
as well as self and pride and identity
and mental stability.
When will man learn
That we are all the same
Including what everyone seeks.
When will we accept our differences
Rather than look for how we are better
These are not new thoughts
Yet noone has the answers
Every new generation
Yearns for peace.
What holds each back
from finding it?
