Sound of Sense
Say what you will, and make it great,
But if you're speaking words of hate ...
I won't listen.
Make your argument, stirred or calm,
But said with words that hurt or harm ...
I won't listen.
Write your thoughts for all to see,
But if penned with animosity ...
I won't listen.
Speak the truth, and speak it loud,
But if you're with the hateful crowd ...
I won't listen.
Deliver your message, strong and true,
But if it's vitriol you spew ...
I won't listen.
Your opinions may be all the best,
But if they fail the malice test ...
I won't listen.
I know you want to change the world,
But if insults are what you've hurled ...
I won't listen.
You may have wisdom, quite profound,
But if spoken from a vicious ground ...
I won't listen.
YET ...
If you shake the hatred FREE,
And speak with sound integrity ...
I ... WILL ... listen ...
For you and I can save our race,
If we just speak kindly, face-to-face ...
And LISTEN.
