Tolerance


7,215,334,441 thoughts find its way around this Earth,

All emitted from its own source

Some filled with regret, others with no remorse

Difference,

That is what the world is,

Not one singular entity that can be grouped by force

One word, one thought, I alone am nothing compared to the whole,

But I can make a difference of course.

In order to change we must see the importance.

Tolerance,

That is the first step.

That is what must change,

The world, dipped in darkness,

Plagued by fear,

Chipped away piece by piece

With anger, it has lost what it holds dear,

But within darkness light emerges.

It shines through the dense fog lighting the way to a new year,

To a new chapter written by those who make a stand.

By those who realize that its not one idea that makes a Difference,

Its not one idea that shows us the importance,

That will bring us to become what we could never be.

Tolerance,

We must learn to accept all that exists,

All forms of life,

All thoughts that flow in constant motion,

Each from its own source.

When those thoughts flow as one,

Not as an individual entity, but as one mass enveloped by the power of many.

That is when the world will find its highest peak of happiness that has yet to come

Tolerance,

This is what must change,

With this the world won’t seem so numb.
