"WAKE UP!"

History repeats itself,
Time and time again.
The hate, the war, the thoughtlessness,
Blood stains our rotten hands.
Is it all that push us down,
Or is it just a few.
We all stand separate, yet as one,
Species bound for doom.
Can we look right can we look left,
To the people by our side.
Religion, race, or creed no change,
Just one person with one mind.
Reach out your hand to offer help,
Put all your beliefs aside.
Open hearts and open minds,
Draw strength from those who speak.
Say it loud and don’t be shy,
Bear souls out on your sleeves.
Love and pain can be the same,
All emotion welcome here.
So I ask you now not as a friend,
One to one,
Person to person,
WAKE UP!!! WAKE UP!!! WAKE UP!!!
