Hate is a Strong Word

The word hate is strong but true In some people's cases People judged on inheritance It was all about the races So closed minded Didn't want to see it They weren't equal No white man believed it Lives were lost and battles fought The war was won and lessons taught People are people no matter the color Embrace them all They are your brothers Hate may be a strong word indeed But heroes arise when there is a need We have all of those folks to thank For equality And mostly a reduction of hate
