    They say ‘home is where the hate is’

    Like a disease that’s so contagious,

    Consuming the world by a day-to-day basis.

    Like simply overlooking an epidemic.

    Quick! Someone call a paramedic!

    It’s happening all around you, O’ so clear.

    While most of us pretend it’s not there,

    The others of us wish, it would disappear.

    But problems just don’t vanish, they’re resolved.

    You’d think time would have fixed this, as we evolved.

    Instead, since birth we were conditioned to believe

    It’s human kind, this hatred shall never leave.

    Because of this, everyday a person must grieve?

    This just can’t be, there must be a solution,

    Peaceful and loving, a Conscious Revolution!

    Awakening the corruption of power.

    Which resides in the white tower,

    Controlling and molding us every hour.

    Now’s the time to free your mind!

    Before freedom is too hard to find.

    No need to push or shove,

    To save this world, ‘All you need is love.’





    [What do you think?]

    This should move to poetry thread. Try going from immediately rhyming couplets to other rhyme schemes, for example
    a, b, a, b
    or even
    a, a, b, a


    for starters.
    The wind came down from the mountain cold

    And like the tide it roared and rolled
    The branches groaned, the forest moaned
    And leaves were laid upon the mold. -- Tolkien

    Personally I don't care for the rap poetry beat, but apparently others like it, for some unknown reason.
