One Blood

How do you not see that we're all the same?
Same flesh, same blood, we differ only by name
Don't we understand what human is anymore?
We think we're smart, but we've nothing to show

Yes, it'd true we all believe in different things
Hate is pointless, what justice does it bring?
We have different gods, lifestyles and rules
Yet some choose to listen to the rambling of fools

What is the point of a nation with free education?
If we don't teach people to avoid hateful situations?
If we were taught the basics of right and wrong
Maybe we'd stop hearing the same hate song

All this propaganda about blood these days
So much injustice and the people look away
All these extreme and racist behavior
Is not now nor has ever been the work of a savior

We've already seen and felt the toils of a war
And it was the single worst thing that we ever saw
Why try so hard to go backwards in time
And lower ourselves to a level even less than grime

Whether Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, Christian or Jew
We're all the same, just of a different brew
Whether we're Black, White, Latino, Arab or Asian
We're all human, just born in different nations

So let's not destroy this world with unjust hate
Let's not let war be this world's ill-gotten fate
Gone are the days of digging  trenches in mud
Let's all try and remember, we're all of one blood

Our Country, Where Art Thou?

Oh Sri Lanka, what have you become? But a slave to corrupt, power hungry scum, A country once known for her welcoming smile, That nobody has seen in a really long while. Sadly, it was your people who let you down, Their thievery and greed stole your crown, They pillaged, plundered, and set you back, And it will take a miracle to get you on track. But once a glimmer of hope was ignited, Under one banner, the people stood united, They fought side by side for one great cause, To free you from the grip of those slimy claws. But “political' agendas quickly extinguished that flame, And once again they hang their heads in shame, Your legacy, your heritage and history were buried, By the very people your heart once carried. You’ve dealt with colonisers, wars even pandemics, Now you barely have fuel or food, it’s pathetic, You’ve even bowled over the world in the sports arena, How to restore that glory? The "leaders" have no idea. Your forefathers would be very disappointed, Seein

Cliché

I’ve always tried to be a good person, To be helpful, caring and kind, To be genuine with no real reason But apparently I’m arrogant and blind Is it wrong to believe there is good in our hearts? And that people can still take a stand? Since when is it weak and when did we start, Accepting that savagery is grand? Am I the only one who still believes in romance? And love in its unconditional form? You’ll never really know if you don’t take a chance And face what you’re hiding from Am I the only one left who sees right from wrong? And believes that there is always hope around? Kindness isn’t weak; in fact it makes you strong Even if in this hectic world, help can always be found There’s always someone willing to listen to you To lend an ear, a hand or a shoulder to cry on Someone to help you muscle through I believe in this, and that not everyone is a moron And that there is still good out there But I guess that’s not ho

Tears

Why do we only cry behind closed doors? Has nobody ever cried in public before? We’re human beings after all, that’s a fact So why can’t we behave with a little tact? Tears are a human’s purest sign of emotion It is not a sign of weakness or a demotion For even the upmost joy can bring one to tears And so can the realization, of our biggest fears Have you ever cried at a movie at all? Or felt even the tiniest tear drop fall? Remember when you heard certain lyrics of a song? How can the world believe it’s wrong? Whether we realize it or not, it makes life grand It means we can relate and that we understand They should bring us closer and not tear us apart But these tough folks, don’t know where to start Tears makes us real, warm and maybe even bold As opposed to robotic, heartless and cold But then, people are horrid, selfish and cruel They think they’re strong, so they act like fools Tears are not something to laugh at or mock It’s something
