In silence everyone
sits and watch as
the massacre continues.
Is there nothing,
anything at all  
anyone can do,
or just to sit on the fence.
Being afraid to speak
out is even worse.
It unwittingly shows you
are a part of the ongoing
anarchy and it *****.
Your silence to act out
means silent agreement
to encourage the crimes.
Where are the elders,
where are the elites,
where are the Influencers,
is there no one to standout.
Where is your honor,
or you don't know what
to be done.
Love don't cost a thing
It is absolutely fabulous and
fantastic.
Divine in nature and beautiful
to have and access.
With love enough you can
stand in the gap for them.
With the age old honor you
can save lives.
No one deserves to die
because of your personal
conviction and beliefs.
Fate and faith are very personal.
You may even be wrong in
your opinion at last.
What would you do if I
forcefully tell you on which
side of an egg you must eat
first or you die in my hands
for not believing me.
Don't tell me which side of
my body to lay on as I sleep,
or put your foot in my shoes to
walk for me,
neither lay your hand on my
stomach believing the food
you ate will pass into me
through your hands.
So the next time you think
about your beliefs remember
that I am not you.
