World's Most Wanted

If someone spoke a different language to you, Would you kill them? If somebody worshipped a different god than you, Would you kill them? You, personally, would you kill them? How much hatred could you be filled with All because someone lives a different life to you? Why are we, as people, so averse to the unknown; So desperate to destroy what we don’t understand? What happens if we find aliens— Something we’ve talked about for so long— And they have a different way of life than we do? Would we tear them apart Just because, in our eyes, their culture is “wrong”, Even after being so desperate to meet them? Yes, this world we live in has a painful history of destruction; Of wanting everyone in one box; all the same; Everyone like this one “perfect” example of how we should be. But why do such obscene things Just because something is new and strange And is therefore labelled evil? We can’t live sheltered lives forever: There will always be so many things we don’t know; Something we haven’t encountered before. Yet thousands have been killed—probably more— And why? We are all humans. Yet, somehow, We have made each other our greatest enemies.
