Ignorance

The thought consumes my mind America would rather remain voiceless Than fight for humans who have their rights stolen It all roots from a fear, and ignorance Of what people don’t know, understand When the hate gets so strong, some would rather die Than be who they are A law is one thing, it can be changed But it wont change us, we have to change us There is no difference between my brother and his wife and my sister and her wife Why does it matter to you, who I am We are who we are, we are the same The difference between you and me is you judge me because of what you don’t understand
