Stop

You know those people you hate for their looks?

Well here's something to put in your books...

We're all made the same below the surface.

We've all got dreams, and visions, and purpose.




We're fighting about what flag we can wave.

Just another excuse to misbehave.

At the end of the day, you've got one life. 

Why would you want to fill it with strife?




Love for our families, and blood in our veins.

You'd better get that hate by the reins.

All birthed from a mother, and we're all going to die.

Are you prepared to answer the Guy in the sky?
