The Path Our World Is Going

Onto others, is horror, and blood shed,
where is the end; when will, we ever quit?
Reacting to each other, with the utmost hatred,
that around, a table, to talk, we can't sit.

Toward another, is blame, and confusion,
whom of us, will see; how will, we understand?
Already are we, deciding to speak, our opinion,
not even once, getting to know, one's shoes or land.

Us together, with respect, and tolerance,
why not now; what action, can we, now take?
Instead of us, causing harm, to everyone, 
we should, realize, what is, truly at stake.

For all, may not, and may never be,
what is the outcome; what are, we destroying?
The future of our children, can then, be in trouble,
if this, is the path, that our world, is going.
