Show Notes

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?
