Will It Ever Stop

So many people all together
Not an angry word can be heard
Everyone is getting along fine

But there are a few
They hate some group of innocent people 
Feeling that they are right

They start screaming and fighting
Attacking anybody whom they consider lesser life
It could be race or religion

Maybe where they were born
Something just makes them worse than us
Makes their lives totally worthless

Most people do not hate
But it only takes a few assholes
Armed with guns and bombs

And too many are victims
Wounded and murdered in just mere moments
Massacre added to the list

And more families in grief
All because of unnecessary bigotry and hate
And we cannot say stop

Very deflating and disheartening at times. Like you said though, most people do not hate. Your words speak truth and are a great reminder to all on how our actions can impact the world. Well done, Lord.
