Legion

When will mankind truly be
more than viral ecstasy
we all breathe and bleed the same
there's not one face without a name...
One starts to die the day you're born
who doesn't cry when souls are torn
from this so called paradise
that we re-live in sacrifice...
Look deep into your children's eyes
and teach them never to despise
love their sister's and their brother's
because they come in many colors...
Asian, Indian, Black or White
Hispanic and our native's plight
son's and daughter's of a legion
and we are many for that reason...
Right the wrong's of one's before us
our father's sin's are what implore's us
If we must stand the test of time
we need to love all of mankind...
