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
