I turn on the news and all I see is confusion and discontent. People are enraged over the smallest things. Countries go to war for reasons that make no sense. They fight over money, or beliefs when there are plenty of both to go around. Life is sold for a bullet and love is thrown away. The fields of the world are littered with the poison of hate and the skies are black with death. Who is right and who is wrong only history can say. Instead of killing children, there should be a different way. Offer up your ideas and if someone likes what you have to say, then without the threat of violence, they can choose to live that way. Without fear of being tortured or having their life taken away. Let us simply agree to disagree and let it stay that way. Share what you have with another and stop keeping everything for yourself. Put down hate and violence and take love down from off of the shelf. When this becomes reality, think what kind of world we can create. A new and vibrant place, free from turmoil and hate.
