Hurt No More

It is time
To hurt no more
Lets quit playing
I'll get you
You get me blues

If you let me
I'll forget
The color of your face
And you
My race

We don't need 
To keep score
It is time
To hurt no more

I'll lower my guard
Hope you will too
It is time
To quit playing
You hurt me
Ill hurt you blues

Racism certainly is ugly.. You are so right that it is high time to put a stop to all this ugliness.

Too much hate and lack of respect seems to be the norm, where have we gone wrong. Tom

I don't know why, but I could hear Leonard Cohen's voice reading this one. That is a compliment, I am a huge fan. Great write. xomo
