Simple Words From a Simple Heart
People can hate
People can despise
People can hurt
Walk around with closed minds
Walk around with deaf ears
Walk around with dead hearts
Turn a blind eye
Turn the other cheek
Turn off their own conscious
But where does this get one?
But where does this lead one?
But where does this help one?
Do not just cry and wail about the injustice in the world.
Use actions to show care and not just of brother or sisterhood
But of humankind as a whole.
One planet given to us to occupy and care for.
Let not religion, race, gender or anything be an excuse to do harm in any name.
It can start small and spread like a wildfire.
Instead open up eyes, ears, minds and hearts.
Peace and kindness starts within before it can be shared with others
