Then

When the earth cracks and breaks.

When we can speak without hate.

When the world becomes a place where children feel safe, and opinionation is no longer a battleground for wars to be fought.

When the stars up above crash into each other sending fragments of life and death tumbling down into the atmosphere creating a new world for us to live in,

And when the dust covering all the books crying out to be picked up, and examined so that maybe they will somehow influence your ignorant ways is blown off, maybe just to read the cover and put back down.

When the street lights aren't used as tools for those under the influence to get back to their homes to beat the family that they love so much, but instead used as a beacon of hope and inspiration for sleepless boys and girls to dream their dreams awake, instead of in their beds, scared to express themselves because of society's pressures.

Then I will forgive you.

I will forgive you for being the embodiment of everything that starts with the letter "hate", everything that drove me to insanity while you slept soundly in your bed of lies, covered by a blanket of bewilderment to protect you from your own ignorance.

I will forgive you, because you didn't choose to be that way.

Society chose for you.
