Ready to listen

Ready to listen 
by Joel Howard

Violence
Rage
All night
All day

People are people
Why can’t we listen
Why can’t injustice
Bow and admit that
People are people
Why won’t we resist and
Shelter our brother
Why won’t we submit and
Look to each other
Why can’t I humble myself to
Love one another?

I listen
As I read the news
I change now
The way I see you
My brother and friend
Ready to listen again...
