Holding on to what we thought we knew

a world so beautiful and true. 

Things such as these only ring true

in the words of the unspoken mind

and the tips of the fingers on a key board.

Hide behind the walls of what science

calls a cranium, not understanding that our mouths are the freedom.

People don't see beyond their sacred familiarities

If one can't speak up, neither can the other.

Poetry doesn't write itself although it doesn't 

make a difference to many, but it sets free 

souls of a million. And touches a billion.

Don't let others fall into the hell we created

Speak up and stop the world hatred.
