Stinging words and bitter tears
always shutting off my own ears
Forcing to give leaves nothing to receive
when perceiving hate in others is so naive
Anger grows at those I can’t control
as I wonder how we share a soul
Reactions allow separation to grow
and it may be I will never know
how something so different is what I see
wondering what darkness hides inside of me
So all the while
I stand in denial
of what I thought was right for me
and in the end was injustice to humanity
When will I purge this lie
when all I do is to deny
my very own part of me
that I try so hard to never see
that very piece within me
hides inside everybody
Even that which I hate the most
is just my own shadowed ghost
We turn our hate onto each other
We turn our hate onto our brothers
always claiming them to be
only what I hate inside of me
Only in seeing my own soul
will I ever find the whole
that was left behind
created by my very mind
Redemption comes only when
I learn to turn my sight within
seeing all I hate and all I fear
is that that which lies right in here
and when I shine the light inside myself
only then… only then will God reveal thyself
and all as one will become humanity
And peace will be with us all eternity
