DRAWN BACK TO SOURCE

A beckon from on high
Calling back to source
The echoes as of love
I heed the masters call

Strayed for wants unmet
Delay resembles denial
Waiting Heart made weary
With Hope long deferred

Sought self alternate help
Values in compromise bent
This way seemeth right
Ended enroute destruction


Recalibrated back on track
In Him I found my way
With wide open arms
Was lost but now I am found

HATE SPEECH

Hate Speech

Words that pierces the heart like razor
Bringing strong divide against oneness
Killing morale and breeding bitter spite
Capable of splitting man against man


it's poisonous venom can defy antidote
Causing damages even between allies
The impact so devastating beyond repair
It's better not uttered than retracted

The colour of our skin may differ
But the same hue of blood runs in our vein
Lines may divide us into ethnic groups
But we all are of one race,the human race

Our world needs love at such a time as this
Not words that will pull us further apart
Rather than speeches that frays temper
We should speak of strength in diversity

Enough of utterances of mass destruction
Enough of fueling unwarranted divisions
Enough of abusing the very essence of words
With one voice we Say no to Hate Speech
