A voice cries out in the wind – something’s not right.
Right and wrong no longer distinguishable, creates spite.
With everyone right in their own eyes, frustration exceeds.
Hate and violence fill the land as sadness supersedes.
As hate destroys and defames, love cries out in the night.
A voice cries out in the wind – stop and listen.
Caught in the madness of the moment, fear grips.
Frustration gives way to madness, creating friction.
No one hears the voice in the wind as madness strips.
A voice cries, listen to gentle whispers that eclipse.
A voice cries out in the wind – love one another.
When hate and violence fill the land, no one gains.
Cease from madness, for the sake and love of others.
We all come from different paradigms of reasoning.
Stop and listen to the wind rather than the noisy clanging.
A voice cries out in the wind – respect and tolerate.
Allow love to rule by treating others as you wish to be treated.
Respect and tolerate opposing ideas that debate.
Trying to force others to change their paradigms is futile.
Stop and listen to the heart in the midst of all that is brutal.
Let peace come forth to stop the unrest.
Let love come forth to stop the hate.
Let sanity come forth to stop the madness.
Let wisdom come forth with respect that tolerates.
Let joy come forth to fill the heart with gladness.
