Let us concede
that hatred had a really big year
Riding a seemingly endless
winning streak
fueled by mutual fear
and a sense of dread
that by next news cycle
any one of us could end up dead
Constant retaliations
leave us seeking isolation
behind walls of false insulation
Treating the symptoms
without curing the disease
simply delays
the body's demise
If we are to survive
we gotta realize
we are one species
one humanity
sharing the same planet
for a limited time
No one country
No one ideology
No one theology
No one person
is better than the next
Peace will only come
to this troubled blue speck
when mutual respect
and global equality
begin trending
