White Flag

I can't judge you for judging me, I'd just be judging you too. I can't point a finger at you right now, three more will just be pointing back at me. Two negatives may make it right in Math, but here in the real world two wrongs only equal disaster. 

So be patient with my impatience and I'll love you through your hatred. These daggers called words we're flashing in our faces might just find their way to somebody's throat. Let's throw down our daggers and smoke the peace pipe, let's wave our white flags in the darkness.

We may not be at peace but let's not be at war. We may not be friends no more, but let's not be enemies. For we better be strangers to each other than casualties of enmity's battles. 

Let's walk away and breathe again than stay together and burn to ashes.

This poem is awe inspiring. I had to FAVE it. It should be printed on flyers dropped from airplanes and on posters put up across the world. AWESOME, Aristide!
