evil strikes in the gaps of humanity.
hold your brothers and sisters close,
keep your pets and companions near,
and unite.

evil lurks where our hearts fail.
keep compassion for your fellows,
make time to help those who need it,
and unite.

evil slips in when we lose sight of ourselves.
read up till your eyes give out,
arm yourself with knowledge of immovable facts and educated opinions,
and unite.

evil will see us fall when we forget each other.
remember that across the oceans and borders,
across language and history and culture and religion,
we are all a part of each other,
and unite.
sometimes it feels like people have forgotten that we're all the same species living on the same planet with each other.
