Isn't it heartbreaking that our world only unites when something atrocious happens? What about the quiet days where no shots were fired, the days where no bombs were set off, and the days where innocent lives still lived?
What were we doing then?
"United as one people"? Hah. Piss off.
We were judging, stereotyping, accusing, insulting, bullying, dividing
the people whose colour were different to our own
whose belief were in a different God.
And what different God?
When all along preachers sang the same song
in a different tune
at a different place.
Why only when lives are lost that we suddenly come together and claim that we want the same thing that is peace?
Especially when on good days we speak of everything else but that.
Why do we only utilise the word peace when guns are firing and bombs are ticking?
Why do we only speak of equality when injustice takes over?
Why do we only condemn weaponry when we become targets of mass murder?
This is our fault.
You and me
Our wrongdoings that cost us the
Lost lives, lost homes, lost families, lost children, and lost hope
