Inner Struggle

We see without our eyes, 

Smell without our nose, 

Feel without our hands, 

Hear where no sound goes. 

Tasting life as if a meal. 

Capturing genius on a fishing reel. 

Inspired by memories we never had, 

Looking up to an unknown dad. 

A curious race from the start, 

Logic and faith stand apart. 

Men feel for those they've never met, 

Fighting battles that aren't theirs. 

Standing up for people afar, 

Yet neglecting those that care. 

Beliefs jumbled from the past to the future,

All men join the forsaken red team, 

A race of followers flood, 

An alliance formed by blood.

 

Open your eyes and clean out your ears, 

The leaders have something you need to hear. 

Stop your hate, drop your guns. 

The hypocrite ideas are old,

All men are brethren,

It's time to fold. 

This holy belief that we try to protect, 

Is crushed by the defenses that we elect. 

Man made craters and deserts deploy, 

Fire builds but it can also destroy. 

Whether its science or God we are all here to stay, 

So stop fighting like siblings or our home will decay.

Amen for writing this! Such a powerful truth you tell and not all battles have to end in violence because violence is simply not the answer. I wish this world was able to really think before we decide to take action against others. Too bad that saying doesn't really apply to most nowadays. But thank you for this and God Bless!
