A letter to the Human Race.
Dear Humans,
My Name is one you have probably never heard of before
Or one you do not understand
But I am everywhere
My hand reaches through places
Through souls, through heart and mind
My hand reaches everywhere.
Or at least it used to.
Who am I you ask?
I am love
Love
A 4 letter word no one seems to know anymore
A 4 letter word no one seems to have anymore
Why?
Why?
Let me tell you why.
My fellow Humans, we have been fooled
We have been tricked, deceived, lied to
My fellow Humans, we don’t know who we are anymore.
As I write this my heart is bleeding
And as you read this my soul is crying
Love is gone
Love has been kicked out of our lives
Love has been forced to surrender its hold on our lives
Because what we call progress is actually called Loveless.
Who are we to lay blame?
Do we even have a right to blame anyone?
Well, we can blame,
Our politicians
Our media
Our government
Ourselves.
Every day our Politicians stand up and say they fight for our unity
Yet they lie boldfaced to us
Their words might say unity but their eyes say division
They say they can see our struggles
All they see are votes.
They don’t have a plan for unity
They have a plan to divide
To conquer
To destroy
So who are they to stand and say they fight for us?
Every day our media tries their best to bring us the most depressing news
The most eye-catching news
The news that will get the most views and ratings
Because all they care for are
First their ratings
Second, their investors
And finally the truth.
They don’t care about love
Why?
Because we don’t care about love.
Building walls instead of bridges
We don’t strive anymore to reach our neighbours
We see love as an inconvenience
What we call progress is actually called Loveless.
What can we do to fix this?
How do we stop this?
Because during this era believe it or not
My fellow humans, love is on the line
Love is on the line
And is we don’t save it, it will be gone forever
So, my fellow Humans
I want you to go out there and find love
Reach for it, take hold of it
And my fellow Humans
Do not let it go.
Do not let the lies of the Politicians divide us
Nor the Lies of the media deceive us
We know who we are
We know what we want
We stand for a future where we can love
Love is not a waste
Love is not a lie
Love is real
Love is the only thing we have.
They tell us we don’t have what it takes to love
They tell us we don’t need love
But who are they to tell us who we are?
My fellow Humans let us take up arms
Arms filled with love
And show them that they can’t take love away from us
They can’t take who we are
Because we are love.
Let all our brethren’s stand for a common cause
Because the one thing I have learnt is;
Without love, what is life?
