Choose Love Over Hate
Choose love over hate
Not because hate is weak,
Because hate is easy
And corrodes the soul,
Worse, hardens your heart
That makes it difficult to be kind,
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
It's land groaning now under the weight of destruction,
Not forgetting youthful activists starving in UK prisons
Hungry for freedom, driven by passionate devotion,
Bodies sapped of strength, their storys silenced
Despite courage, health rapidly deteriorating,
The haters sneer and laugh at the sidelines
Treat these brave people’s lives with contempt,
In the quiet hours, where hope feels strangled
And all around darkness embraces our shadows,
Thoughts get weary, grow tired and tangled
When tears of rage flow, choose love everytime.
