NATIONS DEFILED
Traditions that oppress bring much destruction,
as it blocks the paths of interaction,
when purity is defiled it leaves anger and disgust,
where revenge and retaliation becomes a must.
We cannot live with the defilement inside,
we cannot find a place from it to hide,
it lives deep within and follows us around,
eventually dragging us onto the ground.
We harden our heart as so not to care,
it has no mercy and it does not spare,
innocence it destroys as we push and shove,
forgetting to obey the rule of love.
Our purity is gone, our trust is broken,
our pillows at night with tears are soaken,
thus pain becomes unbearably strong,
leading us down paths that are dark and wrong.
