Borders-In and out

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” ~Martin Luther King Jr.

Listening too much of news
Terrorism, corruption and so many
idiotic views.
Extreme haters, with no lovers,
A sight of world full
of extremists.

Just for a moment, recall,
when you were born
was hatred a free offer that
came with you.
Or the love in you
was just for few.

No comment on the world
But I do know about me
I was born with infinite love.
And it was for free, from above.
Hatred is something
that I rebuff.

Oppression, Communalism
Dictatorship, Borders & Terrorism
Corruption and Greed.
Have you ever realized
such a big part they are.
And you say you’re seeing
this all from far.

We say, the people,
the country is atrocious.
Then tell me what
makes you say that?
Then tell me how
many people(of that country) you’ve met?

Your biased and unproved
comments hurt.
So please don’t say
anything absurd,
before knowing
the whole herd.

Words are more powerful
than weapons.
This you may have heard.
So use them correct
As arousal of hate
is not from society
but from those lines used incorrectly.

You are a being of love.
Money and power is not all.
Spread love and be a dove.
