Join Together
Black and white.
Brown and tan,
Take each other
by the hand.
Look past the skin,
into the heart
and let love’s
healing power start.
Each nation needs
to realize
it’s not the skin,
the shape of eyes.
It’s not which faith
is real and true,
but how we treat
gentile and Jew.
For in this world,
we truly need
respect of every
race and creed.
And though the world
is large and cold,
it’s up to us to
break the mold
and plant the seeds
of altruism.
End the hatred
and racism.
Though there still
may be a few
who want to split
the world in two,
the world at large
can join as one
and repair
the evil done.
Though we cannot
forget the past,
we all can make
a peace that lasts.
