Please understand,


Look at me slowly

Slower than that.

Please, just a bit slower.

 

Don't email that

Read it over,

Read his over.

 

Drop your weapon

Ignore orders,

Change them.

 

Children cry

Adults cry,

You cry.

 

Lower your voice

Lower your fists,

Lower your words.

 

Don't give up

On them please,

One week more.

 

People behave

the way they do,

just like you.

 

Stereotypes lie

Covers lie,

Eyes lie.

 

Life is for

People to truly

Understand each other.

 

Please,

please,

please, understand

Oh please, understand
