Coexist

February 26, 2014

Stop fighting.

All of you.

You act as though a difference is a sin,

when really it's your intolerace that should be punished.

You would kill entire groups of people,

for religion

for a lifestyle

for hatred

that you would not let the other exist.

What makes you better?

What makes your cause more just?

What makes your lifestyle better than the other?

Nothing

Nothing

Nothing.

Maybe one day

when you wake up

from this nightmare of a fight

you will find the simple idea.

So simple, really,

that it hid in plain sight.

COEXIST.

Stop fighting,

All of you.
