I AM SORRY

More powerful than a volcano
More dangerous than an iceberg
More shocking than an earthquake
Three little words, "I love you.

We spend all our lives
Nursing hate and malice
We waste precious time
Fetching nasty baggage

What do we teach our kids
When we show such hate
To our beloved ones
Our immediate relatives

What an example we set
 For those around us
No wonder our world
Is in such a sad state

The time is now fool
To reach out with love
With eager clasped hands
And say, ?I'm sorry.?

Say what a stubborn jackass
You have been all these years
Say can be such a bloody fool
And just say ?I love you?

Only when you confess
Then you can have peace of mind
Use all that wasted energy
Channel it for your own good


What are you waiting for?
What  would it take
To replace your hate
With pure precious love?

Cancer doesn't kill anyone
Its hate that's the cancer
If we can remove all that hate
We'll find a cure for cancer

Don't wait until its too late
When one is dying in bed
Then you come with long tears
Whispering, "I'm sorry"
