Pink

In pages protesting injustice seen
The prejudice of lies that convey hate
A rally call for freedom of the heart
The evil festered in their doctrine
That denies love and dictates its fate
To tear the forlorn hope of love apart.
We ask again for equal rights of love
Committed love that brings divine delight
Denied by men who claim it's his command
The same old men who dare not speak thereof
The crimes they know in confessional rite
A child led to bloody hell by their hand.
The power of love you see as a sin
Yet cannot see the sin that breeds within.
