Call It Faith

Look,
At the world.
What do you see?
Struggle,
Strife.
War, disease, famine, corruption.
All spawned from,
What?
Need? Want?
Mankind's very nature?

Many say yes.
We are vile,
Cruel creatures
That create nothing
But destruction
And kill eachother for
Greed and all kinds of
False reasons.
"Yes!" They do declare,
Humanity deserves
Extinction.

I,
Have see otherwise.
Hope brought forth
By the many
Kindnesses man has
Gave.
Many gifts and virtues
And things that redeem
The acts of a few,
For the good of the whole.
Their sins,
Washed and forgiven.

I love humans.
They are worth protecting.
Worth, much more
Than any of us give them
Credit.
There is something,
Just wonderful in those
Silly little primates.

I,
Do see them
Differently.
And while many will
Condemn them
For their crimes.
I'm willing to let them
Prove themselves.
Show all,
The true them…

Call it faith.
