If....

a poem that questions the motives behind issues such as war,discrimination,hatred...

                                            If.......
If we took away their weapons
will we take away their hate?
If we took away their colors
would they still discriminate?
If we took away their power
could we take away their war?
Replace their lindmines with our flowers?
If the world cries out......
      .........Why do we hurt it more?

If they set aside their backgrounds
would they all be just the same?
If they stopped their accusations
would there be anyone left to blame?
If they taught their ears to listen
could their hearts learn to forgive?
If we keep killing what we've been given......
    ........how can we all expect to live??
