Intolerance


Have you ever thought

About the things we find hard to accept?

Our intolerances, the battles we've fought

Against beliefs, habits, and people we reject.


We cling to our opinions, so firm and strong

Refusing to see the other side

We judge and criticize, thinking we belong

To a group that's right, with nothing to hide, and it my friend  is not only intolerance but also hypocrisy. 


But what if we took a step back

And tried to understand the other non hypocrite view?

What if we let go of our attack

And saw the world from a different hue?


Our intolerances may stem from fear

Of the unknown, the different, the strange

But if we open our hearts, we'll hear

A symphony of voices, a beautiful exchange.


Let's embrace our differences, our flaws as long it is not hypocritical 

And learn to love the things we don't understand

For in the end, we're all just lost

Trying to find our way in this vast land.


So let's break down the walls we've built

And let compassion be our guide

For only then can we truly fulfill

The purpose of our human ride.
