What makes you hate me
just because I am me
someone filled you with lies.
Were not so different
just a little pigment
so why keep the anger alive?
We are all one
under the same sun
this has all got to stop.
The angels aware
look in despair
as we all are the same blood.

same blood, same humanity, same Divine creation. All that divides us is learned behavior. ~L

Don't care what color your skin is made to wear. It is only how you deal with me that causes me to think any other way about you. Understood there is a lot of hate within the races. Maybe, hopefully, we can finally overcome all this damn pettiness.

This is exactly right Lori. We're not made that way, we become that way. As Jerry points out, the golden rule is always the standard. Man knows the solution to all of his troubles. His biggest problem however, is choosing to implement the solution.

Loving Linny Jean is poetry.

Brothers? Never mind. Lies and gossip cannot touch the truth. x
