Crossing Bridges

Crossing Bridges :

I am standing in the ashes,
Of the bridges in between us
To cross bridges, let's have faith,
In the ultimate survival of the human race,
Why demonise migrants this way?
We're humans, just the same,
Even terrorists who use their creed
As a mask for greedy power, indeed,
If we spread brotherhood far and wide,
We could cross bridges that divide......
I keep on running, 
trying to find myself while falling.
I keep on falling,
trying to keep myself up by believing. 
I keep on believing,
trying to find a way to tear those mental walls down.
I keep on trying,
trying not to burn my bridges down.
