No revenge violence

I don't care
How tired you are
How angered
How hurt
How trampled
Your hopes and dreams
I don't care how many times 
You've suffered bitter humiliation
Heartbreaking horrors
Death upon death
There is no room for violence
If you want any real change


Martin Luther King
Gandhi
Jesus
Don't let these great men
Have died in vain

An eye for an eye
Is fine only 
If you want the whole world 
And everything on it dead

Not war

I'm trying to participate 
In everyone's reality
To get a glimpse of it
In my heart
And in order to do that
I have a part to play in their reality too
Just like I have one now in yours
So
It doesn't mean I'm being fake
Or that my loving 
And accepting their reality
Takes away from loving and accepting yours
It doesn't
Not at all
They're just different sides of the infinitely sided coin
And I want to enjoy all of them
In whatever fashion that looks like
For me
And that looks as different from the outside
As it does from in here too
But it doesn't mean they aren't all real
Go
See for yourself
When love is your religion
There's infinite plots and twists
To the same singular story of humanity
All we need is love
