When Will We Learn?

When will we learn?

We voted in our jailers

the creators of prisons of hate; that gate us

the architects of division and fear

we adhere to their lie filled sneers

we allowed them to engineer our own downfalls

and are then expected to cheer as their jeering faces accept the windfalls

When will we learn?

Turned our backs on people, care became a swear word

hope, a lost cause, like a snowflake in a flurry

as long as your okay, don't worry, as long as the bills are paid in a hurry

as long as our money goes into the pockets of our leaders

and not the hands of a beggar who just wants us to feed her

When will we learn?

We have one life, so why do we fill it with hate and bile?

wouldn't it be better to look at the world with hope once in a while

we had a chance...

just a chance, but it was better than asking the devil for a dance

it was a glimmer of hope, a distant lighthouse though the smoke

but we always turn on those who want us to look out for other folk

When will we learn?

When a man who just wants peace,

is willing to converse and learn to listen to our pleas

we always knock them down, and call them weak

instead of investing in the thoughts that are shared

we detest them, point and laugh in jest; at the thought that we humans can care

When will we learn?

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love.
