We Are The Reason Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The teaching of hatred and conflict,
Does not end with a flip of a switch.
The teaching of hatred to divide produces,
An increase of conflict...
Until its presence becomes addictive.

And those in fear for their lives with threats,
Buy less time with weapons they purchase.
With belief their minds inflicted with crimes,
Will end their hatred...
Endorsed to enforce on others to commit.

The teaching of hatred and conflict,
Does not end with a flip of a switch.
The teaching of hatred to divide produces,
An increase of conflict...
Until its presence becomes addictive.

And...
An addiction to hatred and conflicts to commit,
Is what we teach to our children to accept...
As a part of their existence to produce,
Without regret, remorse or empathy!

We are the reason...
Why there's no respect known to get.
And...
We are reason,
Why we are suffering with such effect.

And...
We are the reason,
Why there's no respect known to get.
And...
We are reason,
Why we are suffering with such effect.

And...
We are the reason.
To cause the effect what we can't accept.
And...
We are the reason.
To cause the effect what we can't accept.
