Hatred

Trapped in hatred 
Behind BARS you created hating people 
You can't put light to the sun or darkness to night but you can hate someone 
Looking down at them because they don't look like you, they don't share your views 
Why is it important to you if they don't share your views or look like you?
Gay or straight that's their choice to make 
You are trapped in a mental cave enslave by hate
Who someone chooses to love have nothing to do with you 
The colour of a man's skin was God's choice, not yours nor mine to make
Hatred will destroy you
Let the light of love embrace your heart 
Break free from these man made bars you created 
Hate has no place here 
Our parents fought this war already so you and I can be free from hate
Break free... Break free from hatred 
Accept a man just the way he is 
White,  Black, gay or straight God made them all 
Who are you to question that 
Be your brother's keeper 
Not the man that put a knife in his back 
Free your mind from mental slavery and love your brother be his keeper
You can't say you love God and not your brother 
White, Black, gay or straight God made "US" all

Yes, we have to love all. Nevertheless their are moral wrongs and rights we choose as God let's us. His standards are always true and does not change.
