Massive Mistakes

Turning on the news, getting the blues Wishing I was living in someone else's shoes Watching the hate, and people discriminate Feeling each part of me start to shake Why do people got to be so damn fake Is this a giant massive mistake People of color, are just like one another We all come from a different mother I hate watching people suffer Why can't we approve of one another We are all the same, filled with the pain Playing the same game What have we became We have nothing to gain So what if we have different colored skin People treat it like its a sin Hatred comes from deep within It all starts with people and there thick ugly skin So what if people are gay They were born that way They feel like they have to hide and that's not ok There not somebody you can just throw away So people please start opening up your hearts Because this is tearing us all apart The hatred is off the freaking charts Let's try and be smart And quit living in the pitch black dark

This is why I do not watch the news, have been gloriously oblivious and uninformed for years. It makes you less crazy, and keeps things in a much easier perspective - your own. I love the entire message, and especially the ending.
