Stop the Hate

Why do we hate, I often wonder why?
It spreads like a virus, causing our soul to calcify.
Expanding stupendously, as far as your eye can see.
Cornered in time, triggering its inhabitants to plea.

Love thy neighbor, is it really all that hard?
Refrain from following awry masses, stop playing off someone else's card.
It's time we make a change my friends, worldwide.
Start living for each other, instead of choosing a specific side.

Lead by example, constructively engage each day as we all should.
Stop focusing on only bad, and refocus on all that's good.
Expand your mind, try putting yourself in another's shoes.
There are two sides to every fence, each with different views.
