HUMAN KIND

Human kind dislikes being denied,
And so the story goes.

Human kind at times fails to agree
and so the doors are closed.

Human kind at times cannot see
and they refuse to listen.

Human kind neglects the truth and that’s when
respect is missing.

Human kind at war will guard and defend
and fight and forgive.

Human kind at war will cease fire
and then surrender and live.

Human kind at peace will begin to talk
and not scream and shout.

Human kind at peace has the answer
and will share it about.
