A desire to remain ignorant
because of fear of the truth
some would rather sit in hate
than realize some of the lies that started during their youth
Hate begets hate, force fed and bred
into the hearts passed down through generations
the disease of hate is spread.
Who will break the chain
and let the obvious truth stand?
That GOD CREATED MAN.
Equal, no respecter of persons
Different colors and nationalities to show off His brilliant handiwork
We didn’t get to choose what skin we are in
what makes MAN- that GOD CREATED-decide that my skin is A SIN?
God must be so grieved
How something He made, others despise
How He must look around with tears in His eyes
He made us all beautiful
Who are WE that we think we can choose?
Whose life we think is more valuable
Who are we to just randomly abuse?
In some ways I get it
Ignorance can be somewhat of a “bliss”
The only difference between us is the color of our skin
To come to that simple revelation can be too great a risk!
To really realize that no one is greater than the other
No matter what race or nationality, we ARE ALL sisters and brothers
That shakes some to the core. It causes a fear to rise because it speaks *CHANGE*
It breaks the back of pride-it puts us all in the same “vein”
That “vein” being the very essence of  God who breathed life into each and every one of us
and desires us to know and follow His Character and His Name.
To think we all bleed the same and when calamity comes, it knows NO NAME
It strikes who it will- it does not choose – when disaster comes, WE ALL LOSE.
Let’s refocus, choose to lay our ignorance down
Treat each other the way we want to be treated
Stop wrongly treating and looking at others different from us with a frown.
We are ALL God’s BEAUTIFUL creations. He is brilliant for His choosing
The skin you’re in, the skin I’m in
HONOR THAT FACT – treat with love and respect and NONE of us will be losing!
A Call For Change…A Call To Love…..
