Love Not To Hate
There’s more to a book then just the cover
There’s more to a person then just the color
It's easier to judge then be judged
It's easier to condem than to be loved
If you look a little harder and
Look a little strong you might find something different then imagined
If you look a little longer you’ll find no shame under their color no matter what happened
If you try a little harder you’ll find meaning under their faces
If you look a little harder you’ll find a story in these pages
And if you dig a little deeper you’ll find red blood veins
There’s a unity God made inside of us, to stand together
One people, one image all of us teather
Cause we are all made in one image; God’s image
But it's buried under fear and hate, but we were made
( To Love Not To Hate );
It’s easier to judge the outside, then taking a minute to look on the inward
You may have never noticed but discrimination had caused many injured
(There’s more to story then just its title )
There’s more to a person their race
It seems like defense is everyone's favorite game
One says the system is corrupt
The other says its just
One pulls the gun
Will the other run
Fear and hate fill the air all because were blind to love, sometimes this seems it can’t be undone
One bombs from miles away
( While words are more prey )
Both fill this world with ashes and graves
Love only seems to come in waves
But one thing still remains
We were made to love not to hate
How the world would be different if we stopped pointing the finger, what could we create?
White
Black
Brown
What’s the difference love harmed no one
Asian
African
Spanish
Indian
American
Unity only ever built up our brothers and sister
Cause when your at the end of the line it's not your color
So stop letting the world be burned
It's the soul, it's the heart it’s if you learned

I had heard a song, and it inspired me to write this poem. In this generation we are all so divided and most times when we speak, it’s to hurt one another. There is still great amount of rascism. God made us in His image to love one another. I hope this poem inspires others to love one another rather than hurt.
