• Today is Valentine's Day as most of you may know.
    A day of love and peace. Understanding and freedom.
    But is it really?
    Is it really hatred free? Violence free?
    No... It isn't.
    Why such a change of heart from this morning to now?
    Well... Many things have happened in just those few hours.
    Love has dissipated and hatred has risen.
    Soft touches have fallen and angered punches have appeared.
    You may see the tears of joy but I see the tears of blood.
    Tears of resentment and tears of holding back.
    Where's the understanding?
    Where's the freedom?
    Where's the love?
    Where's the peace?
    Hasn’t it all gone?
    Where has it all gone?
    It’s neither in the hearts nor the souls.
    It’s neither in the hands nor the eyes.
    All the warm lips have grown cold.
    All the soft hands have grown hard.
    Love… has dissipated.
    Soft touches… have fallen.
    Hatred has risen and angered punches have appeared.
    Where’s the peace?
    Where’s the love?
    The freedom… The understanding?
    You may see the tears of joy…
    You may see the hearts of love.
    But all I see are the tears of blood…
    The hearts of cold hatred.
