No Debate


How can someone wake up and hate

Not even out of bed before their prejudices fill their home

Always looking for a chance to start a debate

At this point its no longer about politics

It's about who you believe "qualifies" for basic human rights

You're too absorbed in your own hollowness

To see that there are no requirements to exist comfortably 

As soon as you open your mouth, everything becomes utterly absolute, useless, and void

If you think human rights is a debate, I feel sorry for you

Everyone deserves rights, regardless of the color of their skin, religion, upbringing, sex, orientation

No debate
