Unlearn.

Unlearn your false ideologies which taught the world
Separation by race
And division by religion.
Rid yourself of your unfounded beliefs
That there is such a thing as "white" and "black,"
And "right" or "wrong."
Race is an aspersion
Bred to satisfy the needs of your own self.
Your temperaments never cease to confuse me,
And your attitude of superiority
Never fails to sadden me.
This life was not meant to be filled with such sorrow.
When will we see the error of our ways?
Will anyone stand up with me,
And fight against the principles of our society?
Humanity was not meant to be so poisonous...
We were not meant to be this detached from one another.
When will we see just how wrong we can be?
Someone, please say something
Before we destroy all that we've built.
We've spent thousands of years to get to where we are today,
But we all seem to be so willing to throw it away.
This contest to see who's better is becoming sickening.
Soon the stars will explode,
And night will never again turn into day,
Because of our complete lack of concern
For the poison we feed our own children.
The human mind generates hate,
And all of the toxic philosophies
Which will soon destroy us all.
Sometimes I have to wonder why things keep getting worse.
It seems so pathetic
To see fellow humans fight like barbarous fools...
The thought saddens me,
And everyday, I am left to wonder...
Why won't you stand up,
And fight with me?
Fight against the false ideals
Spread throughout this harrowing society.

i hear you... if we'd focus on what we all have in common, instead of our differences... we'd just have to find someone else to attack, lol. it seems in our very nature, to be against our very nature. indeed, some lessons should be unlearned...

good write :)
