Why cant people just be
In the mood for love?
Why do we hate ourselves,
Hate each other,
Hate women and girls,
And men and boys?
Why do we hate the skin
Of the family of friends ?
Why do we hate the love we see
In others?
Cant we just breathe?
Just breathe the love.
Breathe the light that shines
From inside.
From inside the innocent,
Inside the weak,
In the strong and brave,
In the hearts of children,
In the minds of aged.
A light of hope.
A saber of love,
To wage a righteous war.
A war on all who step on the small,
Who scream words of hate.
Words based in fear—
Fear of change,
Fear of the love they do not have,
Nor can they create.
Love cannot flourish,
In a heart filled with hate.
Take all your loathing
And hide it away in a coffin—
A coffin of light.
It cannot survive away in that box,
Once the room fills with light.
In that light
Will breed the love
We’re all dying to meet.
Let the passion bud and bloom.
Let it blossom.
Growing and glowing
It will clean the darkness from the air,
We are all who can nurture.
We are all who can kill.
It is time for us all
To be in the mood for love.
