The heart wants to love
yet we hate
The heart wants to understand
yet we are confused
The heart wants equality
yet we try to dominate one another
The heart wants peace
yet we fight
The heart wants to give
yet we are greedy
The heart wants to help
yet we destroy
The heart wants to care
yet we are insensitive
If only the heart
were a little stronger.
