Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

I Believe

I Believe
By Franklin Price
8/22/2015

I believe what I believe
You may believe it too
What I believe you may not
When it's not right for you

If our beliefs are different
Doesn't make an enemy
 We should even talk about it
If that's the way it has to be

We can agree to disagree
What we believe or not
It's about respect for others
And the beliefs that they have got

To believe in something other
Than what I believe is fine
As long as no one else is hurt
Especially me and mine

If you believe in hurting others
That some have no rights at all
Don't expect that I'll respect you
Or help you if you call

Will not aid in your beliefs
Nor offer shelter from the rain
And if you're in my country
You're not welcome to remain

You have no right to be here
And if I may be so curt
I believe you have no rights at all
When you believe in death and hurt
