Birds Were Flown Fish Were Floated
when respect is the left acceptance is the right wing
a bird s eye view shouldn t be a world as slashed with slashes
the way it was sliced years ago
shouldn t be the reason for our loathing
when you look beyond the stained glass only the flesh remains
the flesh that is cooked different but tastes the same
they forgot that there are recipes out there
as good as theirs
they used symbols and labels to divide we shouldn t have followed the flow
we must hold hands if we want to grow
they say dogs are people s best friends perhaps because they don t see color
when did we forget that we are all in this together?
birds are flown
fish are floated
by a greater will power
so let s use ours to adjust
those who want to transform the slashes
into full stops by ending us
