HATE
I see hate in many eyes,
I see intolerance in actions,
The mouth may speak many lies,
But the truth is in people’s reactions.
Why must we face bigotry?
Why can’t we be a melting pot?
Then everyone could see,
All the world and what it’s got.
Hate is not a white disease,
Unlike us, hate is color blind.
It is something you can never appease,
It is the scourge of mankind.
We fight wars in God’s name.
Wars against color and race.
Don’t we all see the shame.
For stripping God of his grace.
Why is hate such an obsession?
Why do we dwell on it so?
Why is there so much aggression?
Is this the legacy we wish to bestow?
Put your black hand in my white,
And realize that you are my brother.
Let’s put an end to the fight,
And instead learn to love one another.
Let’s sow love instead of hate,
Let’s learn to turn the other cheek.
Even now it’s not too late,
To find the love you wish to seek. |
