Try Tolerance

by Kaitlin   Jan 21, 2009


Why so much torment?
Enough pain is had.
Why so much hate?
Is tolerance that bad?

Can't you see their pain?
Have you never felt hurt?
Then why do you continually
Rub their faces in the dirt?

You say you know pain,
Do you know how being hated feels?
You say you can't stand their affliction,
What is the big deal?

Try seeing their side.
Try someone else's point of view.
You never know what their life is like,
Until you've survived a mile in their shoes.

A million miles walked,
Ten million tears cried.
Could you ever make it?
Could you survive?
