Can't we all get along?

Old is gold but old stories don’t need to be retold.
We just ended one war, why do we want to start another?
Can’t you see that it’s the same old song playing with a different beat?
We're watching the same movie over and over again, only the actors change.
Why are we trying to alienate ourselves from each other when we’re all the same?
Why are we trying to divide when we’re obviously stronger as one?
We aren’t born with hate; it’s something that we were taught,
Egotistical and selfish people thinking only about only themselves,
Plant the seeds of hate and doubt based on baseless lies in innocent minds,
So that they can mint their money while they watch the rest of the world crash and burn.
The world is our and ours alone, it won’t break unless we break it.
Let’s stop hating and accept we’re different but still the same and live in harmony.
Let’s put our past behind us and as Michael Jackson once said…
“Heal the world; make it a better place, for you and for me, and the entire human race.”
A place we can live in, a place our children can live in without the ugliness of war, fear and hate.
