Let it surprise me

What should one issue if not love? What purpose is there to bringing more hatred and bigotry Into this already saturated world That has jaded me Made a cynic of me A cynic who is hiding under the cloak of realism How does disrespect figure into the delicate symmetry that is our lives? It does not It cannot I will not allow it Neither should any with reason enough to act But these acts should not be met with further retaliation If we use the tactics of the enemy do we not become the enemy Pacification is our hireling And we must employ it wisely For if we do The world may yet begin to surprise me
