A questioning of the cruelty of man towards man |
How can you hate me for the color of my skin? Because I am short, tall, fat or thin How can you hate me because of my race? Do we not all have a human face? How can you hate me because of the way that I speak? Why do you call me names like dork or geek? How can you hate me because I am not rich? Because your father owns a corporation and mine digs a ditch? How can you hate me for whom I choose to love? My life was given to me, not you, from the master above How can you hate me for my political choice? Is it not my right to give my opinion a voice? How can you hate me for hating the evil that I see? I simply want our country to be all it can be The home of the honest, the brave, and the true Is that so different from the desires held by you? Are we not brothers you and I? Do we not both feel anger and cry? Do we not both have families we love? Do we not both pray to our God up above? Where is the difference between you and I? Is not the hate in fact a lie? Are you following your heart in your choice or does society speak for you? Or are you listening to a bigot's point of view Love or hate by your own design You have the freedom of choice But if you try to know who I really am You may hear from me, your own voice ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
