Reasons

~ Vanessa, She of Letters

I want peace
You want peace
While the powers that be
Tear us into pieces
White
And Black,
Red,
Yellow,
Brown,
You were not my enemy yesterday
But today you demand blood
And power
And strip others
Of their rights
Of their skin
Did they tell you
Why to hate the darker,
There must be a reason,
There must be a good reason,
But no matter the reason,
There is always a reason,
To love

One thought on “Reasons”

  1. Well put…there is always a reason to love. We just refuse to believe that unfortunately. It seems that it is easier to hate than love😕
