The Only King We Want

Restrain the roaring voices 

to prevent the foreseeable fights 

filled with rage and hatred 

that could permanently appall 

the people of this world. 

Lips must sculpt more smiles, 

for strangers to see and 

suddenly feel understood. 

Voices must release more empathy, 

loud enough for people across 

the world to hear and feel accepted. 

Love is to be spread, not concealed, 

it is more than a gift, rather a 

necessity, to love and to be loved. 

The world's love must preponderate 

its hatred so that humanity can 

bond into one union of amicability, 

one that will only be achieved 

through the overtaking of hatred with love.
