Guilt

I am guilty
for I have done nothing;
I have thought -
what I think -
are the right thoughts,
but I've never taken any action -
to protest the wrongs
done to those
less fortunate than me;
I haven't pulled a trigger,
spoken hate,
or held down another,
but I haven't stood up
to those who have -
I am guilty

Love

why do we find it
so difficult to love -
to cast judgement aside
and embrace those closest to us -
to accept,
to feel empathy
and not try to change
those we should hold dear -
free from doubt or fear -

why is it a sign of weakness
to put the words out there,
worried at what outsiders
might think,
why do we care;

we get what we give,
why can't we get comfortable
giving out love
