Choose Love Over Hate

 

Choose Love Over Hate 

Choose love over hate 

Not because hate is weak, 

Because hate is easy 

And corrodes the soul,

Choosing love, you stay human 

Helping heal a very broken world,

Rejecting all forms of racism 

Islamaphobia, antisemitism,  

Standing for dignity and safety

Caring for all people, sharing empathy,

Divisions in humanity no force for good  

Simply driving and dividing us all apart, 

Imagine a world devoid of wars, hatred, 

Full of love, peace, humanity, solidarity, 

A world where everyone lives free from fear

Allowing senses of bitterness to dissapear,

With civil discourse, carrying hope forward 

Releasing compassion, comforting one another,

Seeking nature's rich colour, beauty and diversity, 

And without exception keep calling for a free Palestine

The land groaning  now under the weight of destruction,

Do not forget youthful activists starving in UK prisons

Keep lending your voices to those hungry for freedom, 

Bodies sapped of strength, their storys silenced

Despite courage, health rapidly deteriorating, 

As haters sneering and laughing at the sidelines 

Treat these brave people’s lives with contempt,

When everything starts turning into darkness

When tears won’t stop pouring, choose love.
