Listening

If people would only come to understand this simple concept.

Two sides of a coin, two sides of a tale

one always thinks theirs is right without fail

as spiteful words spread like a virus

stabbing wounds start to feel painless

Tore out the pages of another's story

just so you can seem like a hero and take the glory

This is how war is started and why man is weak 

Only for their tale and not the story do they seek 

 Man conveniently slaughters the other's page 

Only so they can go and bow on a stage 

with their pathetic grudges and unfounded hate 

their world remains shallow and their reality a fake 

The story of one is not the entire tail 

Nor should the other half be written in braille

 To ever hope in this world, the other must speak

without superior man's annoying shriek 

However, man remains blinded by this fault 

calling the other half ignorant, savage or a cult 

never questioning their own story or reasoning 

Never truly comprehending the word "listening"

[R.M.C]

Very good; not only is the concept great (and I can completely understand it, like all people surely will) but the actual wording is also good.
