Search In The Eyes

Just a quick poem about our society

Tolerance is the window to peace,
Endurance, the light of reason,
Patience is the language which crosses all borders.

We can suffer through the endless workday,
And even clamorous children,
So why is it we find it so hard,
To search in the eyes of other Nations,
And easier to live in the shadows of our own?

We are trapped in a hypnotic state of social conditioning,
Sowing the seeds of continued habits,
Snared in an inner perpetual prison,
Bearing the burden of our own beliefs,
Trusting that there is no room for mistakes.
