Brothers and Sisters Too

The world today is changing for the worst Right before our very eyes With crimes, war, and destruction every day so many people die we look on tv and we shake our heads in this modern society children are still going to bed unfed it hurts me to see this but there is nothing that I can do because they make our daily lives so hard sometimes we go to bed hungry too some people are just lucky and some people are gifted and some people's lives are like spoiled flour the sourness could never be sifted life likes to kick a few and we all that this is true trust me when I say one day the boot will kick us too but all we can do is try and try and try again and build our roof over our heads to shelter from the rain they say from Adam and eve the world brings forth creation it all started in a garden the garden of Eden so, tell me if this is true why do we hate each other are we not brothers and sisters too? we look at what is happening today the human suffering caused by war people's lives are disrupted when bombs come knowing on their door wars are fought for land wars are fought for supremacy wars are fought for oil and wealth but all wars are fought against humanity why do humans kill each other why kill someone you never knew why do we hate each other are we not all brothers and sisters too? where is the empathy in their hearts? How does a baby grow up to hate? Didn’t the parents make them say a prayer sitting at the table with dinner on their plate your children are what you teach them isn’t that the truth I mean that is the simple logic The blame starts at the roots how many gods are there? The answer is one every religion claims to be doing god’s work so, what the hell is going on why the wars why the murders why the hate where is the love for another? the holy books said that God made us all in his image I think he wanted us to love one another and make life a holy pilgrimage and when we look around us that is the furthest from the truth bad apples will be in the batch if it grown from bitter roots but not all is lost this much we know is true and if we all came from Adam and Eve then are we, not brothers and sisters too,
