I See No Other Way

Food displays no preference for by whom it is consumed...gloves do not pre-qualify the hands that would intrude... Cameras show no favorites when immortalizing ‘Life’...and photos no exclusions to by whom their yields are viewed. Sentimental movies are impartial with their purpose, caring unselectively which watchers shed a tear... And never does ‘Ethnicity’ pertain to less than all when situations surface where the obstacle is ‘Fear’. ‘Courage’ runs the gambit on the source from which it stems, and those who choose to challenge ‘Wrong’ are randomly dispersed. They rise to fight instinctively - regardless of their breed - even when the strategies they choose are unrehearsed! Male or female...young or aged...meek or steeped in poise, lineage...in the throws of combat, tends to dissipate... And yet the trend continues as we wonder why our differences persist in festering cultural wounds and instigating ‘Hate’! From birth to in the neighborhood of 9 to 10 years old, most of what our children learn is recklessly instilled. They watch and overhear their folks expressing their concerns, listening to them agonize as blood is being spilled, While raising not a finger to engage in what could help to rectify the problem, like so many of us do. Most are actually taught to hate by those with bitter views, bent on fashioning pliable minds with claims not always true, Filling unsuspecting heads with misconstrued perceptions...stoking ethnic discontent - their kindling rife with lies - Securing their allegiance by embedding in their hearts a ‘Cause’ for seeking vengeance, and to never compromise. This ancient curse on all mankind will spawn a confrontation somewhere on the planet virtually each and every day, And, frankly, friend, it looks to me like only ‘ethnic cleansing’ can fin’ly put an end to this --- I see no other way!
