Conflict

End the conflict now
Be not afraid to hear it
Let it fall softly

Listen to the wound
Allow the healing to begin
You do not know it

The reality
Eludes even the wise ones
Striving for freedom

You cannot trust that
Your influence can be heard
Worlds are so varied

Breathing the same air
How can we tune out our pain 
Finding our own peace?
