Do we try to understand?
The differences we see
of those that share this fine old land.
This land we think is free.

You'd think that this
would be the norm
not to dismiss
and not to scorn.

Alas whatever it may be
that raises the antagonist.
Colour or Disability,
Why should this make us raise a fist?

Common sense we like to think
makes the human race superior
but hatred is the obvious link
that can make us inferior.

Perhaps to take in what I say
might enhance this life we live
and not to try to take away
let's try to help and try to give.

Lets treat those not the same as us
with an heartfelt interest
and not be quick to cause a fuss.
In this world let's invest.

Make this a better place to be
together we can stand.
Standing up for Liberty
together hand in hand.
