The city in which I live
Is multicultural and proud
Many races embrace our nation
And have become one of the crowd

But some are not very welcoming
They criticise the slightest thing
Instead of looking at the positives
That each unique culture can bring

We're all made from the same fabric
And belong to the human race
We can be the color of our choosing
Just by painting our face

The color of our skin may vary
But we all bleed the color red
History has shown so much hatred
There have been tears and bloodshed

We all need to be more tolerant
Let's cast hatred out to sea
As we embrace our fellow man
And join as one big family

* * *

I guess I'm allowed to dream

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

That is true... We not only bleed the same colour, we're of the same species... Why let hatred come between us? Why is there even hatred? People should learn to be more forgiving... Yet, it's for now, still a dream...

Tis a dream that I wish we all could have, then maybe it would actually happen.  You expressed it very well and this is one I am glad to have read.
