Remember Love

Look at that cripple on the street.
Guy don't have enough to eat.
You're too black, You're too white.
Your beliefs are wrong, mine are right.

Look what hate has took away
No more love like yesterday.
When fellow man was a friend.
So sad that has reached an end.

Look at that girl with all the scars.
Her dad is a drunk at the bars.
Butterflies are pretty, but you're a moth.
He dresses in black, he's a goth.

Why do we call each other names?
I thought God made us all the same.
The young don't know they're just children.
What kind of world we really live in.

That guy can't talk right he's got a stutter.
That girl keeps bleeding she's a cutter.
You're too fat so you can't run.
You're insane so grab that gun.

Words so mean and so unkind.
World so deaf and all to blind.
All so bad and no more good.
Can't we remember love like we should?

You can't join don't even ask.
You were a druggie in your past.
He makes more money, she makes less.
She's a loser, he's the best.

I am me, you are you.
Tell me please what can we do
To take a stand and rise above
Kill the hate and remember love?
