We all cry tears that are the same color
No matter what shade our skin
No matter whose blood is shed
It’s always red
We all want to believe in something
But we’re easily influenced
And easily fooled
We want to find a cause
But we also want to blame
Someone
Anyone
For everything that’s wrong in our lives
Because
It can’t be any fault of our own
We want to stand for something
But we’ll fall for almost anything
We fail to see the enemy is not out there
It’s inside of us.
It’s what divides us
Because we forgot what it was like to be united
Against a common cause
We forgot that’s what built our country
And what made it great
Until we decided to tear it down
No one has to drop a bomb on us
We’ll destroy ourselves with no help at all
Because we’d rather fight each other
Than pray for each other
We’d rather protest and riot in the street
Than join hands and share our suffering
Taking away the guns won’t solve our problems
Changing attitudes might
But we won’t do that either
We’ve forgotten that we are all God’s children
And he loves us all equally
That we’re all given the same chance for redemption
Maybe too many of us never knew God’s love
And that’s why we fight each other
Instead of sharing His love

Great words of wisdom, Barb. So very true.
Peggy, Had to put my two cents in after listening to all the news and pundits sharing their thoughts! Thanks for commenting. 🙂 Always appreciated.
