Love thine Fate


The greatest bonds

We’d ever test

Are those formed

In great unrest.

But why is it

That we must fear out fate

In order to forget

Our faults and hate.

 

Brother on brother;

Man on man.

When we hate one another,

Where do you stand?
The time is now.

There’s no time for debate.

There is no time for this hate.

When can we put aside this bickering

And create

A future so pure,
Between rich and poor,

One to unite this country

Forever more.

Instead we argue on some

Marble floor.

When do we say

We can’t take anymore.

So with this

I implore:

Let’s open a new door

To a new jecture.

Let’s start teaching

A new lecture.

Let’s put our path

On a new vector.

And stand together.

Work together.

Forever.

 

Join arms.

Join hands.

Let’s change the world

With a change of plan.

The power we have

When united; we stand

Together,

Side-by-side

Like some

Ride-or-die.

Imagine the saving we could do with

So many lives.

There’s too much pride,

And too much strife.

A simple act can change a life.

We just have to

TRY.

So let’s make greater bonds

And end this unrest.

Let’s all be human together

Or at least try our best.

Let’s put our differences aside

And use the thoughts in our chest.

Then we can share

A connection fit to test.

So can we join as one

And share a fate?

Can we accept our blemishes

And forgive our mistakes?

How about respect every life

Because to be alive is great?

Because maybe then, we can forget

Our own faults

And our own hate.
