Labels

Labels

Just what is a label
but a way to separate
to define every difference
pidgeon hole, aggregate

We think that we need them
to define all our peers
draw one to another
bring those like us near

But with all our Labels
and the peers that they bring
comes a dark looming shadow
with hatred's foul sting.

We think ourselves better
than those we are not.
insult them and spurn them
and let our hearts rot.

For our labels breed hate
in amounts large and small
and bring us to actions
our hearts would apall.

So heed not the labels
join hands without fear
they still are our Brothers
our Sisters and peers.

For United we'll prosper
and divided we'll fall.
Despite all our labels,
Bring peace to us all!
