Violence No More
Our lives end the day we become silent about things that matter
We say all lives matter, but why do we kill each other?
We march for freedom, but gain nothing
We want justice, but kill in retaliation
Why hate when we can love?
Why kill when we can revive?
Why cry when we can laugh?
Hate can't drive out hate; only love can do that
Darkness can't drive out darkness; only light can do that
Violence will get us nowhere
In order to change our world we must first change ourselves
