I hear my children I listen I care Why won't you listen when I cry? Why won't you listen? Do you feel the ground moving? Can you not hear me? Can you not feel the vibrations? Where are you all going to go when winter comes and the cold harsh reality of not having a dwelling settles in?
Who will you ask for help from then? Will they listen? Will they care? Will they let you close To their fire Or will you freeze?
Alone, With no one No one to care about what war you fought What you have done to save them How hard you work at home How you suffer in silence Because you can't fly your flag!? If you could just be you and stand up again! Be the soldier at home To protect those you love and care about! Be color blind! Be deaf to the vile words! Watch the theft and stop it With kindness Before it escalates! Know that everyone has hard choices To make to keep their kin alive!
But because you are mean With your harsh words You must be fighting somewhere...right? Are you ready to fight at home? Let me tell you BLACK and BLUE does not need to be anyones skin color of the day! Those colors do not look good on Any family membor or friend!
Vile words hurt worse They cut a person down They replay in our heads Until we go crazy! At times that we need strength Those emotional scars never leave us... They take up space In our heads and Our hearts and even in our souls They turn us into mean people Who hurt others Broken people have sharp edges Handled improperly Leaves nothing but Hurt
Continuing to hurt each other is not the answer anyone is looking for Maybe it used to be We can not continue Not anymore! Not in 2017 Not now in 2018 Not later No Never Ever Again! We need to STOP! Stop fighting each other
Start making our world A great place to live in Again! Not just everyone out for themselves! Our Mother Earth loves us That is why we have the privilege Of being alive on THIS PLANET! Just keep that in mind next time you want to hurt someone else The pen can be mightier then the sward but it still comes at a price What are YOU willing to pay? Will it be your family Or your friends Or how about Your life? Are the prices we pay too high? Yes. So be kind! Put yourself In their shoes Even if Just For A day!
