Destroying the Path of Hate Before It's Too Late

Wouldn't it be really great
Turning everybody's hate
Into something good and fair
In our hearts to show we care
If all the power was reversed
Into good vibes from the worst
Then the world would turn into
A kinder place for me and you
Why hatred and prejudice
Live in people who exist
On this earth is quite a wonder
It just makes us all go under
 A big cloud of hurt and pain
I just feel so ashamed
How nothing has changed in years
To get past all of the fears
Some folks live with everyday
We all need to find a way
To stop this wrong right in its tracks
Moving forward, never back
So all people can be free
As were making history
Allowing peace in every spot
Of this land, it is a start
To stomp out the bitterness
Receive good will and gentle bliss
Learning to be compassionate
It would be a gracious fit
Easing the hearts of those wronged
If badness left, love came along

Wouldn't it be great if we managed to erase hate and bring in love instead! Looks impossible, but surely we can't give up trying to make things better. Congrats on your win, Robin. // paul
