¿Intelligent Species?

one year ago
can that be right?
it seems like a lifetime
and it seems like yesterday
senseless actions
devised by fanaticism
if i could i would send a message
to all of the people of the world:
killing will solve nothing
cure nothing
settle nothing
fix nothing
erase nothing
soothe nothing
ease nothing
hate will eat you alive
make you bitter
sap your strength
cause nothing but pain
yet so many are convinced
killing is what we all need to do
muslims need to kill americans and jews
jews need to kill palestinians
americans need to kill terrorists
serbs need to kill croatians
cowboys need to kill indians
blacks need to kill each other
white supremecists need to kill everyone
what the hell are we doing
to god's world?
take my hand now
and take the hand of another
don't worry about race
or religion
nationality
left or right wing
dark skinned or light
red or brown
we are all just people
why can't we act like
the most intelligent species
on this planet?
