Why must judgement dominate us today, Accusations fly like fishing rod lines, In the sea of words that these people say, Corrupting the pleasant thoughts of young minds.
Prejudiced beliefs linger like rainclouds, Raining on opinions of you and I, Cries of hate ring through my ears from these crowds, Almost like thunder's constructed war cry.
Does the phrase, ''love thy neighbour'' mean nothing, To those faces that roam across this earth, It could be a compromise or something, For, If we learned love, it would bring rebirth.
Jealousy will dominate in our heart, Until we learn to love, or at least start.
