Poem Title:
Poem
Generations come, generations go Many praying to leave the world better Than the ones who came before In every single person there is bad In every single person is good We all harbor hate inside us We all harbor love Hate it causes blindness, bitterness and sting It refuses to listen to reason Leaves us crippled and mislead Love it opens doorways to a better future It listens with an open heart Letting go of past inflictions Letting a nation mend With hate the wounds will remain infected With the prejudices of so long ago Never able to bandage the wounds inflicted So the sores they continue to bleed It only takes one person One who is unafraid to shout to the masses This hate must stop So this hurt it can mend Our ancestors before us knew a secret One that kept them continuing living Continuing to love They knew to forgive but always remember the pain they survived So that they could be sure to pass down to the future generations Not the hate and intolerance But all the love inside All the good It's time to honor their spirits It's time to heal the pain So all that the ones before us endured Will never go in vain Open up our ears and hearts Shut out all the hate For once listen with our hearts to hear Instead of always hearing what our minds deep inside fear
