Differences

What causes discord amongst us Diverse religions, lack of trust Adversity coursing through our veins And dogma embedded in our brains We’re born so innocent and naïve But disappointed, we do leave The dearth of harmony and of peace Will cause dissension to increase Divergent races Different cultures Contrasting viewpoints we encounter This leads to destruction And turns to pain So rivalry and hatred will remain Let’s change misunderstanding And let acceptance reign Because we’re the same in eyes of God And let humanity shine There really is no difference We all want the same things Be good to one another And kindness, this will spring

Hi Alona. You hit the nail on the head . Hatred is so ugly and some bad politicians fan the flames. First visit to you. Nice write

Excellently done, Alona. There is a whole whack of reality in your writing, and though it's easy to be cynical about our nature, it's also nice to see hope and good suggestions.
