Hate doesn’t die It just changes its’ disguise Switches out old lies For the new ones Wore sheets Now you hear the pounding of feet Hear hopes defeat in political speech And church’s doctrine For some reason They have to stop them From committing such a sin And the cycle circles us again Anti-miscegenation laws Fade to be replaced by Anti-gay marriage laws For what cause The perpetuation of an enemy To distract you and me From the real abuses of our society When you let yourself Be fooled so easily Waving your fists angrily Even though the lessons Are readily written in our history But the cycle never ends The hatred bends Like light in ocean To blind devotion And the hate goes on for leagues

Written Before The Supreme Court Ruling
Hate doesn’t die It just changes its’ disguise Switches out old lies For the new ones Wore sheets Now you hear the pounding of feet Hear hopes defeat in political speech And church’s doctrine For some reason They have to stop them From committing such a sin And the cycle circles us again Anti-miscegenation laws Fade to be replaced by Anti-gay marriage laws For what cause The perpetuation of an enemy To distract you and me From the real abuses of our society When you let yourself Be fooled so easily Waving your fists angrily Even though the lessons Are readily written in our history But the cycle never ends The hatred bends Like light in ocean To blind devotion And the hate goes on for leagues
This was written a month before the supreme court ruling.
