Stop the Hate

Let’s break down the wall between the races
Stop the hate and hostilities man now faces
Recognize that we are really witnessing crimes
Not unlike the ones seen during the Bible times
Filled with suspicion, prejudice, and demeaning
A world demanding an overhaul and a cleaning
Is there hope that our state will change direction?
Will we have to wait for the next general election?
Let’s hope that the good and not the bad prevails
And that world’s decisions are prudent and evil fails.
