Blood in History

I once heard a sad story

about innocent blood being shed

so much cruelty and violence

got me thinking about the past.

A history with so much hate,

so much ignorance, and fear

clouded too many hearts,

unable to see the truth,

that we are all the same.

A fear that only causes pain

lead to broken hearts,

too many has fallen

and stain the pages in books,

for the hatred of another,

innocence has to pay 

is that how we meant to live?

If only we open our hearts,

if only we open our minds

and see our differences,

why must we repeat

the cruelty of dictatorship?

Why do we have to take 

someone else's life

because we fear and

don't understand

what is unknown to us.

This unbreakable chain of events

we will keep repeating,

until we decide that no one

needs to fall at the hand

of an unmerciful fate.

Sometimes this world,

seems to have grown cold,

so much blood stain our hands,

unable to wash it off

it leaves a mark in our hearts.

If only we open our hearts,

if only we open our minds

to see our differences,

why must we repeat

the cruelty of dictatorship?

But I believe,

if we see the right and the wrong

and use our common sense,

we can join forces 

creating a better future

for the generation to come.

I believe,

as children our environment

leaves an impact and shape

who we will become,

but at the end of the day

we can decide to cut away

the cycle of hate and ignorance

if only we open our eyes,

if only  we open our minds,

to see our differences,

and see we are all the same.
