We say that times have changed Yet the issues in the news Remain the same Three Muslims shot Over a "parking dispute" Yet the media news Can't get to the root Of the hateful crime Committed by a brute Too busy reviewing Fifty Shades of Grey While unjust crimes Are carried out everyday And why do we let ISIS Receive so much fame? And why is it that every Muslim is to blame? Associating a belief With violence and terror But it is among us Where you'll find the true error Using religious excuses To **** off God's creations Manufactured missiles Sweeping entire nations Thousands dead With nothing left to gain And those who survive Are left with terminal pain Seeing tears in the eyes of a mother Her son buried deep By the prejudice of another How far will we go Until we see the wrongdoings? Cuz once a life is gone... There is no undoing Segregating humans By religion, *** and race My beliefs may be different But I am no disgrace We classify ourselves With things like melanin As if our destiny Is determined by our skin Ignorance causing our vision to be impaired Can't accept the unusual Cuz we're too scared Too scared of the truth So we hide behind lies Too scared of being left out So we wear a disguise Morphing ourselves Into what is accepted Turning into clones Fear of being rejected But it's time to wake up Time to accept The difference in our land Time to end The suffrage that is at hand Time to unite ourselves as one Time to put down the weapons And put away your gun So join me now To spread the love And to silence the hate Our world may not be perfect But it's never too late.

Call for Change (Edited).
We say that times have changed Yet the issues in the news Remain the same Three Muslims shot Over a "parking dispute" Yet the media news Can't get to the root Of the hateful crime Committed by a brute Too busy reviewing Fifty Shades of Grey While unjust crimes Are carried out everyday And why do we let ISIS Receive so much fame?

Decided to incorporate a few more lines to this poem. "Mankind must put an end to war, before war puts an end to mankind."
