Alona Perlin Poet Lyric

Differences

What causes discord amongst us
Diverse religions, lack of trust
Adversity coursing through our veins
And dogma embedded in our brains

We’re born so innocent and naïve
But disappointed, we do leave
The dearth of harmony and of peace
Will cause dissension to increase

Divergent races
Different cultures
Contrasting viewpoints we encounter

This leads to destruction
And turns to pain
So rivalry and hatred will remain

Let’s change misunderstanding
And let acceptance reign
Because we’re the same in eyes of God
And let humanity shine

There really is no difference
We all want the same things
Be good to one another
And kindness, this will spring

Jannie Breedt December 9, 2016 at 12:21 AM Hi Alona. You hit the nail on the head . Hatred is so ugly and some bad politicians fan the flames. First visit to you. Nice write

Doug Vinson November 29, 2016 at 10:32 AM Excellently done, Alona. There is a whole whack of reality in your writing, and though it's easy to be cynical about our nature, it's also nice to see hope and good suggestions.
