When we look first at a man’s religion to decide if he matters
When the colour of his skin arouses suspicion or hate
Where have we gone?
When will we open our eyes and see how we can accept
When will we learn every difference doesn’t mean reject
Where have we gone?
Straying down paths fuelled by bile and hate
Chasing down pathways someone lesser to bait
Where have we gone?
This human decency we all swear to our gods that we have
That we’ll care for the next man if he’s proven to be without a life too grave
Where have we gone?
That we alienate all because who knows if
They will be that person who will help us be human and live
When will we come back and see
It’s time to move forward world as a unified we.

Great questions…if only we could all say: we are here; together; ‘as a unified we’…

You would think in our so called civilised age we would wouldn’t you? It’s sad that people of any religion or none have to fear being targeted.

I completely agree…we are all human and should treat one another as such.

” It’s time to move forward world as a/ unified we.” So true! People really need to stop judging others by their differences.

Thank you I can’t see why we just have to fight anyone of difference, no matter what it is. 🙂
