Is it so hard?
Mercy,
Is it so hard to give?
When someone's whole world is pain,
Why would you force them to live?
Respect,
Is it so hard to show?
We're all in this together,
If you don't like it, please go.
Anger,
Is it so hard to ignore?
Take a deep breath,
Do you still feel like before?
Violence,
Is it so hard to refrain?
If you don't understand this,
Then I can't explain.
Understanding,
Is it so hard to do?
Close your eyes for a moment,
And put yourself in my shoes.
Compassion,
Is it so hard for you?
Look around at the world,
We're all suffering too.
Apathy,
Is it so hard to care?
Open up to the world,
You've got something to share.
Racism,
Is it so hard to see?
We're all brothers and sisters,
Even if you don't look like me.
