Its time to stop falling for government ploys.
To stop being played like government toys.
Its time to resume a conversation.
To start a process of healing nations.
Lets focus the anger and hate.
On the media and government who set the bait.

You don't have to hate someone if you disagree.
Even if its fundamentally.
Are we not all somehow lost.
Is not finding a way forward too high a cost

I've travelled a different path to you.
This doesn't mean there's no common ground.
There is always mortar to build bridges.
A compromise can be mostly found.

Our views may conflict on things deep within our souls.
Yet this doesn't mean we have to hate each other,
Or sometimes have some common goals.

Life is way too short to fall out over points of view.
I feel pain and bleed just like you do.

Don't **** me because I pray to a different God.
Or try to convert me through violent means.
It's just as stupid as hating me,
Because I wear trousers and you wear jeans.

Forget about borders , status, creed or class.
Hate breeds hate but agreements can last.
The future need not be determined by the past.

Its possible to disagree or have principles that may have conflictions.
But find compromise,
Without
Sacrificing deep convictions.

The world has become a twisted place.
A moral compass that's severely skewed.
We listen to yarns that governments and media spin.
Rather than accept the obvious truths.

Forget for now about exploring space.
We're not ready for what we may find.
First lets all find each other.
Lets break the chains that continue to bind.

Its time to look at how the world is run.
To see injustice through untainted eyes.
To build bridges that bring men together.
To start to make right the wrongs and value each others lifes.

Its ok to disagree but not to **** and maim.
Especially based on hate of someones colour of skin or in your gods name.

Its ok to enjoy your culture or practice your beliefs.
But not ok that live in extravagant excess while others barely survive on city streets.

My soul grieves and heart is heavy, when I see what this world has become.
Man has achieved so much.
Yet so much more can be done.

I've walked a different path to you
It doesn't mean compromise can't be found.
We simply have to try to coexist.
Our survival depends on finding common ground.
