When Fear Triumphs

A cold heart cannot feel
What blind eyes cannot see
Love, peace, understanding

So often hidden behind prejudice and hate
Disdained and overlooked among
Doubts and disappointments
Beauty transformed
In the eyes of perceived enemies

No longer shining, sadly diminishing
Awaiting understanding, or better yet, a smile
When fear triumphs, we all lose

Hope still dances, but the music fades
Gentle souls sing softly in the distance
Masquerading as the naive
Wisdom fit for a child
Like the body, it is destroyed

In a cold world, I search
For innocent minds, open hears, and loving eyes
For in the mirror, they have been lost
