Differences

 

Language started as the same for all

Way back before the age of words

Then it became secret codes

 

Tribe turned against tribe

Over a simple lack of understanding

Of a neighbor's language

Religions changed 

From universal to regional

And the world used God

 

As a reason for depriving

A person of their physical form

Even after the message was repeated 

 

From every mystic

In whose ear the Divine whispered,

“Thou shalt not kill.”

We beseech you to understand

That differences are not wrong

They are evolutionary

No race, creed or gender

Is greater than another

No language more melodious

No prayer from any religion

More powerful than

The one from the heart

Accept the beauty of Paradise

Surrounding your spirit

Asking for the blessing

 

Your spirit offers matter

Look upon creation and repeat joyously,

“It is Good.”

Lay down your grudges

Your arms are weary from holding them

Sing forth a new song

 

And adhere to the prophet Lennon

Who asked us all

To Give Peace a Chance

Blessed be
