The illusion of strife.

Equality for all,
Dissected with a hatred serrated knife.

Us and Them,
Hatred's most beloved and cherished conceptual gem.

Us and Us,
Is all there is and ever was,
On our home, this cosmic spherical speck of dust.

When will this end?
When will the last scales of savagery be shed?

When will we unite,
Together as one?

Only when the scales of segregation are shed and done,
Can we take flight
As One
United as a species
Into the magnificent vastness
Of the dark cosmic night

“People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite"  - Nelson Mandela
Lets be done with this hatred. Its due time. Much like John Lennon did, I Imagine a world with no religion, racism, intolerance, bigotry and inequality. I dream of a world where I do not turn on the TV and see another act of savagery due to a differing ideologue, or see another person ****** the life away from another because of a difference in skin pigmentation. It is a dream I hope may someday come true.
