If you strip away religion
If you strip away race
If you strip away nationalism and patriotic intentions
Who are we at the end of the day?
We all experience five senses
We all love, laugh and cry
We all bleed the same color.
How was hatred born?
Where did we learn to despise someone because of their
Skin
Belief
Choices?
Hate isolates
Hate destroys
Hate is a darkness we can ill afford.
A million miles of darkness
Cannot extinguish the flame of a single candle
Think of your smile
As the single candle
In a sea of darkness
You will find someone smiling in return.
The Journey of a thousand miles
