Equality
People lying under matresses
or dead on the street
You want to close your eyes
perhaps even retreat
You don't know who you should blame
which finger to point
You don't know who to name
because we're all guilty
You see people lining the gutter
homeless and crying
What should we tell them?
"Oh we're trying"?
It's so easy
to put shame on someone else
Just as long as it's anyone
but yourself
People without food or decent water
Their clothes are filthy and their hair is greasy
So many innocent people left to be slaughtered
It wasn't just one type of race
One ethic culture
Each person has a different face
But people are blind
They rather look away from truth
Than to pay it any mind
It doesn't matter how hard you try
Or which person you blame
The skies will open up and cry
To mother nature, we are one in the same
We all have to account
for a different person's sin
So why place blame
why even begin?
People are dead
Some they are in pain
Homeless, without a bed
Without families
console eachother
because in the end
all we have is one another
