Xenophobia

Darkness
Has engulfed the world
Light now a tragic mistake
Science is understood
But empathy ignored
Hide behind your skin
As the soul chokes on greed
Damn those with opposing views
Who look to grace and mercy
Given to the lambs
Slain by trusted hands
Crucify the answers
And weaponize the questions
Fear of skin and wicked deeds
Done in the search for power
Destined for a greater purpose
Free will is a sacred honor
Given to those
Whose only debt
Is to each other
Xenophobia
Fuels humanity
Moving failure forward
Away
From self sufficience
Sentient life arose
With a guiding hand
Supple opportunity
For all of man
What can you say
That you have said first
Weak and shallow languages
Fail to detail
Complex existences
Flesh to evolve all together
Man exists here
For the reason
Of sustaining love
Build up for another
Rather than tear at nature
Come out
From your hell
And sow this message
Which is found
Do the locks of hatred
Fill your chest
With molten lead?
The key of understanding
Is well within the grasp
Of anyone
That listens
To the cries of help
Fear of skin and wicked deeds
Done in the search for power
Destined for a greater purpose
Free will is a sacred honor
Given to those
Whose only debt
Is to each other
Xenophobia
Eats humanity
Consume the world
Why?
