Perhaps It's Time

Although it may be difficult sometimes

in this world I’m trying to create...

I will not acknowledge your anger with anger...

I will not return your hate...with hate.

 

If you choose to bully me

I will not bully back.

Nor will I cower in the face of fear

for courage...I do not lack.

 

I believe in human rights

the rights of everyone to be free

and I gladly lend my voice to the chorus

of peace and harmony.

 

Hate has tried to rule the world

from every demagogue to tsar.

When you take a look at history...

how’s that worked out so far?

 

So although it may be difficult sometimes

in this world I’m trying to enhance...

I will return your hate with love...

 

it’s the only way peace has chance!

Interestingly

In the wake of every defeated or overthrown or killed Tzar or dictator like Idi Amin, either another bad soul rises or progress toward human enhancement occurs. Historically, we have received a lot of both options and I hope the just, though struggling, is winning. :D - Lady A -
