Hate has been with us for as long as time Woven through history, like rhythm and rhyme From podiums down to corners of our streets Under the guise of pride, it does not retreat   With religion, race, even skin colour at its core We live divided, hate turns strangers to foes So many fight over borders, gods and flags, And so many innocents end up with toe tags   Politics divides us as much as other beliefs And corruption reigns, while people grieve Some don’t vote, because our ‘leaders’ lie Believing false promises, while children cry   Even gender has become a battlefield And ‘equality’ is a fight where nobody yields Orientation and identity are a whole other mess Where it will all end, is anyone’s guess   Class still divides the very streets we walk From the meals we eat, to the way we talk No matter where we live, or what our background Ultimately, we end up beneath the same ground   Race and culture, so often misunderstood What is wrong to some, to others is ...

Labels, we wear them so proudly and in vain we stand for them even if they drive us insane like labels of race, religion, gender, and orientation and we fight for them all through any situation We've worn them as long as we can remember like societies and clubs of which we are members even cliques of friends from school and beyond often come together because of a labeled bond The saddest part of labels is that they divide and yet we flaunt them with such ignorant pride they create wars and unnecessary conflicts and we don't see the consequences that they inflict To some they invite exclusivity & create archetypes but they kill individuality and invite stereotypes Race, religion, clubs, or whatever, it's all the same All they do is divide us and that's really a shame Yet, here we are, still so ignorant and blind without even realizing these labels are unkind believing that we're standing up for what's right while in reality we're addin...

It's been said before, so let it be said again This world has gone completely insane Why do we try so hard to destroy each other? Can't we just accept the differences in one another?  So many people suffer and die for no reason And by doing nothing, we're commiting treason For what? Someone else's political advantage? We need to put an end to this genocidal rage If you're a politician, don't abuse that power Use it for change so millions don't have to suffer Why do innocent souls have to die for your benefit? We all know the truth, even if the media tries to omit.  We need to make sure this nonsense ends with us So future generations can live in peace and trust  Let's unite as one race and let this madness cease And try to get along with each other in peace  People don't believe that things can change anymore That all this nothing more than a political show Messages of peace are buried by hates ugly shape Le...

We humans are experts at blaming each other And we do it, even if it means hurting another We never take responsibility for our own actions do we? We’re blind to it for some reason and this just cannot be  We blame others for things like racism, rape and wars When we see others suffer, we start moving our jaws We punish those who do wrong without trying to teach them right And then we go on and on about some self-righteous fight  We blame nations for arming rebels and creating unjust ways Thing is, we could’ve stopped it, but we let it happen anyway We blame a whole race and religion for terrorism without cause And then voice our opinions without knowing what’s true or false We protest immigrants for coming over and ‘taking our jobs’ They aren’t you enemy and this ignorance must stop Imagine if we worked to together and kept moving forward But alas we fall prey to propaganda and the words of a coward  We fight for equality amongst...

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...

I've said it before, I'll say it again this world has lost the plot so many people have died in vain either executed, blown up or shot All in the name of religion and God, wasted lives for a reason makes no sense if not in the street, then a hospital ward, how can anyone be so dense? How did we forget that simple fact? how can you ignore the shame? how do you keep up this senseless act? have you forgotten we're all the same? We're all Human! thus we're all the same! The same flesh and blood, just born in different cultures the fact that no one realises this is a crying shame! and now we're all victimised by senseless vultures What gives you the right to take innocent lives away? who gave you the power to decide who lives & dies? haven't you noticed the rivers of blood flowing everyday? haven't enough innocent people been made to cry? When will you realise you're only killing your own? people just like you and me, regardless of Nationality or race...

What the hell is this country coming to? why are we turning a blind eye to the atrocities that keep happening? children are being abused and killed, women are being raped, murders all over the place, blatant disregard for human life on roads? is it just me or has Sri Lanka  'evolved' so much that human beings, have become unbelievably stupid? Let's begin with the number of road accidents that have been happening over the last month or so, all because of stupid drivers with no patience, because everyone has to be in such a damn hurry, that they don't realise other lives are in danger. The worst of the accidents thus far, involved two buses and a defender. Whoever was driving the defender, was on the wrong side of a singular white line and was speeding toward a blind bend. And for what? what was the point of that? so many died, so many were injured, and it all could've been prevented. Staying on the topic of road accidents and road rage, there have been several incide...

Take a good look at the world today, At this once beautifully mysterious place Does everyone have to continue living in fear? Is this truly what any 'God' in any religion wanted for the world? We live in a world full of hate, pain and evil Honestly, how can people be so ignorant? Intolerance is a horrible thing, Why can't the people get along and live together? How can we as humans spread so much hate? Why are we afraid of people who are different? There are people suffering and  dying for nothing all over the world The rich live and the poor struggle to survive The extremists kill and terrorize in the name of 'God', The innocent who pray and worship the same 'God' suffer and die How ignorant can people be? just because others are different And because others have different beliefs and choose the way they live Innocent lives lost, and nobody does anything about it, That's the sad truth, all these questions go unanswered Doesn't anyone our so called l...

Many years of meaningless violence we’ve seen Assassinations and bombings, an everyday scene Our people have spilled gallons of blood For what reason must we bury our brothers and sisters in mud Soldiers fall, while civilians crawl People being crushed underneath falling walls Now from above we see more danger From this terror, we inherited an unjust anger There was so much fighting now; we have forgotten why it started How can any human being be so ill hearted? Even children don’t see the light of another day They take one small step and they’re blown away We’ve been through it before, let’s stop this from happening again In so many years, there was no justice, just pain Let’s end this terror before even more people die Don’t say there is peace, because that’s a blatant lie Politicians are the cause of all this stupidity Spreading words of hate and immoral insecurity We look to our leaders for motivation and hope But they are the ones who push...
