Do Not take what is not yours

There are tears in the world tonight,

There is love that is hated,

Good people, with hearts full of love.

Rejected, denied, abused.

 

There is love in the world tonight,

where the hated, still love.

Where the rejected,

are held tight.

Where the world comes together.

To say, this is not right.

 

Who has the right,

to tell you who to love?

No one, can control anothers heart.

The people, who worship a book.

That is supposed to be a book of love,

they hate, they despise, they steal equality.

 

Do not take what is not yours to take,

It is not yours to claim,

it is not yours to abuse.

 

They are not wrong,

they are not the devil.

For loving with all of their hearts.

 

Take a lesson,

learn from them.

The true meaning of the word love.
