What are we but grown up children
Run amok
Just look at us
We fight and scream
And argue and hit
Like unattended toddlers
Without guidance or direction
Some among us are shy
Some artistic and smart
Some become big bullies
And tear things apart
Insecure
In need of power
Competition for approval and attention
Need to control
Taking other kids toys for themselves
Suppressing
Then excluding them from seeking relief or recovery
What the hell is happening?!
How did we let it get this far?
We thought our dad was watching
That big parent in the sky
The one we looked to for guidance
And blame when things go wrong
We feel so powerless and out of control
Where is mother to remind us to love?
We’ve abandoned her and forgotten
There is no separation between us
We are all members of the same human family
When one of us hurts
We all hurt
When one of us is left out
We are all excluded
The time is now to wake up mother
To return to the one human family
To reach a hand out to our neighbor
Say no to hate and create peace
