There’s too much pain
Too much hate
Why is everyone
So quick to berate
There’s no more love
No one can ever relate
Why is everyone
so quick to berate

they knock a man down
trying to stand on his own
Leaving him broken, battered
Bloodied, cold and alone
Lying there wondering
“why’d this happen to me
did they want to hurt me
because of all my beliefs?”

people don’t think first
they’re only quick to react
destroy what is different
and never look back
hate’s the fuel now
apathy’s all it’s about
reason is out the door
love’s getting snuffed out

why is this violence
the only way to react
the only way to be heard
is with the sound of a gat
what about “love thy brother”
does that mean anything now
oh wait it’s too simple
to be understood now

There’s too much pain
Too much hate
Why is everyone
So quick to berate
There’s no more love
No one can ever relate
Why is everyone
so quick to bring hate

Fear destroys the mind, depression destroys the soul... only love and compassion may save you from death.

Yes, we are way too quick to hate. It is because we are so selfish enough to think that we've got the corner on truth, and we forget what it means to love our neighbor as ourself.

“We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson
