What should one issue if not love?
What purpose is there to bringing more hatred and bigotry
Into this already saturated world
That has jaded me
Made a cynic of me
A cynic who is hiding under the cloak of realism
How does disrespect figure into the delicate symmetry that is our lives?
It does not
It cannot
I will not allow it
Neither should any with reason enough to act
But these acts should not be met with further retaliation
If we use the tactics of the enemy do we not become the enemy
Pacification is our hireling
And we must employ it wisely
For if we do
The world may yet begin to surprise me
