Are you learning?
Are you getting it yet?
Do you think that
you are better than them,
cause you think or you act in a different way
what the **** gives you the right to say;
I don't like you
cause you're not the same
I won't treat you
with equality
You might very well be treated the same way
if you keep on living in your heresy!
A man was killed in the streets today
dragged by a pick-up to an early grave
Because he was different from the ones who killed;
they acted so selfish by the acts they willed.
Somebody's son, somebody's daughter
was gased to death by their brother
because of beliefs that did not agree.
What the **** happened to equality!
Don't tell me how we're so evolved
we still don't know how disputes are resolved
Instead of trying to remove distrust
we just kill those that disagree with us.
A man was beaten to death today
because he had the flaw of being gay.
The people who did it should have known better.
One of them forgot about his heritage;
how his ancestors suffered because they were black.
I guess he concluded it was different.
While he pounded his brother with his fist
In my mind this is all ********
Are you learning?
Are you getting it yet?
Do you think that
you are better than them
cause you think or you act in a different way
or the color of your skin is not the same?
Don't tell me you want equality
if you live in the shadow of attrocity!

Archie this is very powerful. If I might ask you to go beyond the physical words you write, what, in your opinion do you view as being the key causes of such inhumane behaviour ? Just curious !
