Jeff Morehead Poet Rhyme

What Would It Take

What Would It Take?

How can two different types of people,
Learn to live together in peace?
What would it take,
For the hatred for each other to cease?

Why can’t all of God’s people,
Learn to live together in one land?
What would it take,
For all nationalities to join hands?

Why should one be judged,
By the color of their skin?
What would it take,
For acceptance to begin?

How can we teach our children,
The importance of toleration?
When they don’t see the example,
From the parents of this nation.
