Humans

In this world, it's every man for himself.

By E.J SneedPublished 9 years ago • 1 min read

We are all falling apart at the hands of each other,

Fighting, killing until there is nothing left.

Putting the blame on the victim and acting like there was another way,

"They started this" you scream like a child.

With blood on your hands, you pray to a god you think is going to forgive you for murdering your neighbor.

You judge each other while labeling yourself as a saint.

We all commit sins while yelling at others for doing the same thing.

Acceptance is love but you can’t accept others until you realize that they are living the same life as you and dealing with the same problems as you.

There is no end to this war until we can love each other for who we are and we can stop killing because we are not the same.
