Discriminate
Discriminate sounds much like hate
And that coincidence is surely fate
Millions of cries can be heard
And all because of that one word
One can't control the melanin in their skin
And yet somehow that represents their character within
Humanity goes even further by splitting us into groups
Saying we can't relate because you are a German and I'm a Jew
That she is black and he is white
And even if it's love something isn't quite right
This God-forsaken word stains history
Even though its true origin is a mystery
Leading many to hate because of differences
Judging based on pure inferences
Like calling people savage because they are different from you
And yet all the savage actions are what you do
It causes hatred that fuels nations
Leading to planes crashing into innocent patrons
Just close your eyes and imagine this was all gone
That everyone didn't feel separate but in fact just felt like one
So if I could get rid of one thing
It would be the thought to discriminate thus ending much suffering
