the substance of water requires oxygen

plants require oxygen

us humans need oxygen

so why discipline social and racial conflicts,

when we all share the same substance on ground.

the grounds that were once equal

colours in between known for nature and earth

unlike colours we’ve been enlightened by

i’m afraid we aren’t the same species that once lived, equally.

the story starts with the beginning of time, the apple

although i’m afraid it’ll end with nuclear weapons.

the story of the well-disciplined.

where water and oxygen are what keeps us all living, together

the whispers of the town

they tell them to censor opinions

then scream to tell for what is and what was

the continuous terror, fear, who wants to feel any of that?

so why await the war,

when we can call it a peace

why kill to live when we all can live to love.
