Fear and Hate

Some see the darkness 

The violence and the pain

Giving anger a voice.

Others see rainbows

The beauty and the goodness

Naivety a choice.

Most see confusion

The critical state we're in

Deciphering noise.

Who can I believe?

With so much information

Where is the wisdom?

Day by day I go

Watching people fall behind

Focus on my own

The system fractures

Families break at the seems

Broke capitalism

Gone is pure faith

Replaced by bitterness

Rage against society

Hate thy dumb neighbor

Watch news and believe it all

Negativity

 

Both sides always wrong

Walk like pigs to a slaughter

Die wrong being right

 

Why must we all lose

Fight the stupid fight of fools

Our own prideful might

 

Till the bitter end

Each other is all we have

Only friend in sight

 

Faith the recipe

Kindness the only key unlocks

Hearts of you and me
