Overcoming Fear

In the realm of the living fear and hatred spreads
Throughout the nation the powerful plows ahead
Superiority, inferiority and angry narratives are fed
Repeating insults that the leaders have said
Propaganda spewed out in chants that spread
Conspiracy theories and ill thoughts in the head
Spinning and justifying scriptures that shred
Others to pieces with verbal discord instead
Speak peace and love and do not dread
Differences in others that make us afraid
Stop the violence, killings and the bloodshed
Live in peace and harmony and don’t be misled

Powerful words for our time.

Yes indeed.

Wise words. So simple, and yet so difficult to achieve.
I am so frustrated at humanity inability or unwillingness to just live and let others live.
There's wrong on all sides. Sometimes it's hard to tell where it all starts, but as your poem clearly states, this madness is easy to end, if only every side agreed on applying the golden rule.

I think your toally right a lot of time when people hurt others its coming froma place of fear. This is a really lovely piece

Thank you for the feedback.
