Harsh words can do much harm, <br />Building up walls of hate. <br />Expressed anger makes things worse, <br />Causing misunderstanding. <br /> <br />Why can't we just get along? <br /> <br />Kind words spoken can do no harm, <br />Breaking down walls of hate. <br />Forgiveness opens communication, <br />Promoting understanding. <br /> <br />We can get along, <br />With just a little effort, <br />We can work side by side. <br />No walls of hate, <br />No misunderstandings, <br />Just peaceful existence among friends.<br /><br />Astrid Hardjana<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-can-t-we-just-get-along/
