“It's so hard to
forget pain, but it's even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to
show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Diary

Hear with our ears
Listen with our hearts
It’s only our minds
That keep us apart
Can’t hear what you say
When you talk so loud
Got my ego in my ears
Acting too damn proud

To compromise
Don’t mean I’m weak
It means I’m wise
Just cause I’m different
Don’t have to hate
Try to understand
Communicate
Break down the lies that
Separate us
Alienate us
Trash, berate us
You might not like
Everything I do
But still respect
My point of view
Why can’t I hold
My own god dear
Without holding your
God in fear?
In the end
What's there to gain
by causing people
So much pain?
So many scars
That never heal
How long before
We just don't feel?

Awesome, lolamouse! I especially love the lines about why cant we hold our own god dear without holding the other's in fear? Pretty much the basis of all wars.

Yes, why not? Love this piece Miss Mouse. :)
Wow!
Well said.
Peace to you and yours on this Blog Blast Day and in all the days to come.
so much of what we allow to come between us is within our own ears....you really get into a rip with this as it goes on....great question as well right there in the middle...
Lovely message ~ I like respecting other's point of view..what's there to gain at the end ~
A great message for peace. Communication is a very real key toward that end, isn't it?

Great Poem!
So powerful. I love it.
Wonderful!
"Got my ego in my ears.." Wow! That says so much right there!
... among the best of the Peace Poems!!
I liked it. Even if it did come across sounding like a rap song.
Our various Gods do tend to make us work like that! Simply brilliant, Lola!
