Why do you call one another names?
You say that you are faultless
As many self-proclaim
But life is not always black and white
And sometimes we disagree
Or we straight out fight
But to dismiss what one holds true
Belittle, label another person
Is not for me or you to do
If we could all just be more self-aware
Consider each other’s view
As this world we share
Using slurs such as prejudice and racist
Name calling without reason
No proof or any basis
This will not bring us together in any way
Make the divisions larger still
Never see a newer day
Why not grow? Instead you embrace the strife
Not understanding how to respect all
Or learn about each other’s life
I ask you to look for some good in every person
As you will encounter many on this journey
Instead of the conflicts worsen
Don’t hold things against another without cause
Take time to learn about each other, listen
So future generations can applause©
