Violence and hurt
are in the cycle,
in the circle
that goes around
and spins
and keeps
moving humans
in its orbit
of suffering
and despair.
Break the cycle!
Stop it now!
Hold it back
and say,
“No!”
Break the cycle
and hold it back;
do it though
your force
of love
and peace.
It all sounds impossible
and part of
some far-fetched dream;
but I say,
“Break the cycle!”
Tear it apart!
Collapse its power
through the strength
of your will!
Bring it down through
your hope and forgiveness,
and bring renewal
in the delight and joy
of being
that person
that can cause
the alchemy
of change.
Break that cycle
spun through
ignorance and cruelty;
slow it down
and turn it around
into the garden
of gain,
where flowers
can grow in
the soil of pain.
Break the cycle!
It’s within your power.
It lives in your hands.
And it bursts from
the steel resolve
of your soul.
Remember that
love’s not weak,
and love doesn’t cower.
Break the cycle!
Feel your power.
