Poetry In Motion

Have we hated ourselves to death,
And dont know what it does to our health?
Is it because of gold and power and land
That we make stratagies well planned,
To take by force fellow humans' lives
With hearts where wickedness thrives?
Is it because of speech variations
That we make such separations
Between human and human
Not minding that we are one?
Is it because the strong want to bully
The weak and make them ruly?
War here, war there, no good reason.
Massacres and brutality, no explanations given.
The dead lay open from end to end
One can no longer trust a friend.
We need to shift our dozing Mind,
We need to know we're mankind.
Barbarians have taken over our earth
Killing for fun and the love of wealth.
But if you and I should our hands clasp,
And goodness in our minds grasp,
What a bond that will be!
A bond that truly sets us free!
