We blindly stumble into our


We blindly stumble into our fate

Accepting and fueling and serving our hate

Never apologize until it's too late

They tell us, don't speak up just sit back and wait

For somebody else to do what needs to be done. 

So we

            Shun

Those who are different, because we can't relate

And we choose to ignore

The fact that people are more

Than what they may seem to be, it doesn't matter

What someone's skin looks like, or who they love

We feel uncomfortable, and so we judge

All the while heartlessly, coldly we shatter

Someone who's beautiful and deserves to be treated like a human being. 

Let's make a stand, and refuse to tolerate

Those who would bring in our heads on a platter

This is the sort of change the world longs to be seeing.
