Separation
by JJ JohnsonIf the truth is evolution
Or if God determines our blessed fate
Never mind his absolution
When it's easier to separate than release your hate
Wouldn't it be the solution
To run away from what's inside of you?
Never mind a resolution
When it's easier to cast blame on everyone but you
I admire all those who've tried
Whose lives demonstrated a peaceful way
Never mind those heroes who've died
When it's easier to quietly waste your life away
Don't believe everything you hear
Or reflect with contempt, hate they don't hide
Never mind overcoming fear
When it's easier to mask your hatred behind your pride
Pride is an arrogant parent
Suckling its growing prejudice child
In my mind it is transparent
And grows easier to see through the higher up it's piled
