God you created this beautiful world
but it seems it is incomplete

No heck to distinguish any one from the others

When you're constantly branded a racist
because you're a white male
you tend to stop listening 
when you're constantly labeled privileged
(though they've never seen you leave for work at 2:30am

Years broken down for my feelings outspoken,
Labels always trying to distract my heart,
To keep me from sharing, to tear me apart,
Acceptance always wants a mirror of itself,

Whether or not I am to think the things I think.

I'm sat here watching our values fade.
Hatred and anger on either side
An entire nation they managed to divide.
Muslims to the left of me, white supremacy to the right
