Why Can'T We Love

Tell me why 
Words hurt so much
Make you cry
Why looks 
Tear at the soul
Breaking you down
Millions of pieces
Every secret 
Every fear
Tell me why 
We can't have 
LOVE
HONESTY
RESPECT
Why we can't 
Love one another
Why we can't 
Just get along
Tell me why 
HATE rules the world
Why
Putting people in pain
Can satisfy the heart
Tell me 
When will we become one
When can we satisfy the world
Why 
Can't we love?
