But, When We Stand Together " We Are Liberty "

All the lovely colours In this human race Different faces With different shapes In towns and cities Rich or poor We all came to life Through the same door If we can't live togther Some thing is wrong Do the colours divide Why we can't, sing the same song So, you just be you And i'll just be me But, when we stand together We are liberty " Inspired by Christina Larmons poem " Bad to be black http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/life2.php

Love it! I think this should be a poem hung in schools everywhere so people from a young age can learn that we're all the same and you can't have prejudice but call yourself an educated person. With prejudice comes ignorance and you depicted that very well. :)
