It's Time To Sample The Nectar

Sticks and stones

though one breaks bones

those words they slice much deeper

For careless words when they are spoken

cause others hearts to become broken

these words they're far more dangerous than swords

It no longer seems our fashion

to treat folks with compassion

seems to be the trend that most don't care

The treatment of others has grown coarse

folks live like this without remorse

I have to wonder do they even care about themselves

But those who care they're a special breed

they'll even cater to the need

as a whipping boy for those who would abuse

It's not themselves they think about

that's not what brotherhood's all about

to survive in this world we need each other

treating each as if a brother

my hope is some day that we wake up

to learn to drink from that one cup

Containing a nectar known as

LOVE
