Where is the Love?

Fri, 11/23/2012 - 15:26 -- gamzee

I look around at the world of which I'm a part of,
and then I always ask a simple question:
Where is all the love?

I cannot be at peace when people are not free.
This is not how we were meant to be.

I see people who cannot marry the love of their life.
I see countries and families torn apart by war and strife.
Gender and race; the lack of equality,
I do not think this is how it's supposed to be.

Like a seed that blows in the gentle breeze,
I want to spread love and put bigotry down on one knee.
Every human - every soul - deserves happiness.
They shouldn't be harmed; others must lose bitterness.
Why am I inspired?
Deep within my heart, there is a scorching fire
that demands I help my fellow man-
Screams at me to give them my hand.

My one wish is to deliver upon the world a soothing rain.
To cast away the reign of intolerance and fear,
to deliver humanity from tyranny's pain.
