understanding

dim, the light of knowledge
in a climate of fear.
when rational thoughts become
colors in the fading sun,
quickly, sinking into darkness

let your eyes adjust.
see through the haze of doubt and fear.
the enemy is within…
but the devil is without, manipulating.
see through his bonfire of panic and fright

color your own world
with forgiveness and understanding.
judge not a man by the label of his faith,
but, by the flavor of his soul.
reach out to your brother.

reach out to understanding.
