Rise Above

At time of birth
Minds free from suspicion
Senses raped
Induced with superstition

A pre-set mode
To befit description
Language, colour
Race definition!

Inner strength must detect
The love we each possess
Before we may reach
Appreciating it in anyone else

External distinctions
Used as scapegoats to problems
Channelling our aggression
In the wrong direction

Break down the barriers
That enforce superstition
Learn to trust
Overcome suspicion

Acceptance, the weapon
Active against our freedom
Our love and compassion
Held at treason

Rise above induced superstition
