Animosity

Animosity

Tell me that you see the same things

Stop me in the street and confront me

I will laugh at your angry words

And take comfort in any blows you deal out

There will be no animosity between us

I will make sure of it

Because of gratitude in human connection

That you have brought to my attention

Beyond subtleties and sarcasms

Tell me that you believe we are changing

Run with me through shopping malls

We will bathe in the essence of misunderstanding

As others stare like goldfish

Through glass bowls of discontent

Because of a magnitude in human rejection

That we have brought to their attention

Beyond banalities and vast chasms

That condition the vision of masses

And amass conditions of vision

Tell me that you hurt in early morning hours

Call me when you are awake in darkness

You will not be alone anymore

I will listen to your confusion

And feel a sense of peace in togetherness

As states devour human souls in deceit

And hatred manifests within our children

And cities begin to fall

And airplanes fly directionless

While the fire of mankind stutters

Then explodes in disenchantment

There will be no animosity between us

I will make sure of it
