Behavior Shall Be Your Our Savior

Cast vocal stones towards the minds of minorities
           Deprive us of heath care; constrict liberty in attempts to show us authority
     Judge me by the color of the skin, not from knowledge and morality within
 Prejudice manner causes no sadness, who needs harmony when we can struggle in madness
                         Behavior shall be our ultimate savior

               Chaotic actions we inflict self damage in thought of encroaching equality 
                              Performing Unruly, angered, fearful, or frivolity
          Judge them by the color of their skin, not from the knowledge and morality within
                   Prejudice steps taken in answer of prejudice actions made how mistaken
                               Behavior shall be our ultimate savior

                      Your individual actions serve in creating the world’s humanity
                                Whether it may be to act in love or insanity
                             Do away with traditionalized prejudice bound ways
                    Our behavior must change in order for us to live prosperous days
                                   Behavior shall be our ultimate savior

 
                                (learn to love)(teach to love) (live in love)

James you know I carry a lot of shame over my beliefs obtained in Prison I was a I.A.C. mac rep and a validated gang member with a history of violence - While serving my last term I met a man named Milton Hemsted in the drug program and the way him and I carried ourselves and our outlook at the waste our lives had been full of anger and hatred - We changed each other over that year - Ignorance and fear breed prejudice and I'm so thankful that is out of my life - wonderful poem, God Bless, MJ
