What kind of world are we living in
When the color of the skin
When the choice of worshiping is different
And because of this people live in substandard buildings
And because o f this there are fires and death
And because of this people are allowed to die
Response times are longer
Building inspections are lax
People ask for help
And help does not come ….
Until it is too late
My heart is aching for the children
the mothers the grandfathers
the grandmothers
All who died in a useless, preventable fire
People not the norm
People who came to make a better life
And found the same as where they came from
People from countries
Who respect community
Who respect their traditions
What happened to our traditions
What happened to our country
When did the hate take over
I am so sad and cry cry, cry
I feel their pain, their fear, their death
their longing, their confusion
I cry to you to change your fear of others
I cry to you to look at them as you look at yourself
I cry to you to teach your children
that all people are the same
All are children of the Universe
All are children of God
Does not the bible teach us this
Does not the Koran
Does not the Torah
When did man interpret this
the way he does today?
