Harsh words can do much harm,
Building up walls of hate.
Expressed anger makes things worse,
Causing misunderstanding.
Why can't we just get along?
Kind words spoken can do no harm,
Breaking down walls of hate.
Forgiveness opens communication,
Promoting understanding.
We can get along,
With just a little effort,
We can work side by side.
No walls of hate,
No misunderstandings,
Just peaceful existence among friends.
