Fear and Hate are powerful forces.
Nearly as strong as Hunger,
in their ability to movitate.
Fear and Hate are powerful forces.
They are born from Struggle;
born from Strife.
People resort to Fear,
when left with No other alternative;
when a secure future is no where in sight.
People learn to Hate,
as a sad way of coping,
with a Life that's been anything but fair.
Hate and Fear are primal forces.
Without them, there'd be far fewer Wars
and far fewer people living in misery.
Hate and Fear are primal forces.
To rise above them takes effort;
takes good will, and heart.
Hate and Fear is the Brand, some try to sell us.
Hate the Others who are out to take your stuff.
Fear the Government that plans to let that happen.
People resort to Fear,
when left with No other alternative;
when a secure future is no where in sight.
People learn to Hate,
as a sad way of coping,
when the Life they've seen has been anything but fair.
Peace and Courage are the Banners of the compassionate.
Peace for the less fortunate among us,
those full of struggle, and strive, and worry.
Peace and Courage are a Brand, without enough promoters.
Courage takes good will, and Courage takes heart to rise above.
Courage sees all the struggles, and dares to ask Why?
Peace and Courage are a path through the wilderness.
They are an alternative,
when safety and security are no where in sight.
Peace and Courage are more than Ideals.
They are are powerful forces.
That could change the world, if given the chance.
... if only enough people would dare to follow those paths.
