It's time
Everyone says
love is the most important thing
if we would just love,
the world would be a better place
If that’s so, tell me
Why then, when there is a man on the street
do we turn and act like we do not see?
Why then, when someone falls flat on their face
do we point and laugh, putting them in disgrace?
Why then if someone is a different color
a different race
a different orientation
or just plain different
do we treat them like the plague?
Why then is it so easy for us to say
you’re ugly
you’re stupid
you’re not good enough
rather than “you are beautiful”?
Whey then do we only see hypocrites around us
and not in us?
Because then we would realize
We do not practice what we preach
we do not act the way we speak
but it’s about time we start
Though it has become cliché
this I know as true:
Love is the most important thing
and if we would just love
the world would be a better place
