Blasphemy


I should be nailed to the cross for blasphemy I should be stoned because I've been racist Throw me in jail for the crimes in my head Punish me because I once was ageist... But I'm not like that now, that was the youth in me With wisdom comes maturity and grace Every mans soul shines bright like a star Regardless of the colour of his face I walk amongst greatness, I walk amongst the poor The rich and all who fit in between No colour of skin or different language spoken Will change my views now that I've seen... Beauty in every face that smiles at me Wisdom in every fragile voice Wonder in every man, woman and child Goodness even if they have no choice... I'd like to be like one of those people My red, yellow or black fellow man So I will keep a heartfelt smile on my face And continue to do the best that I can.
