No Prejudice
People die without discrimination,
And too many die with.
So unto Him, so die shall we,
And in His image, bleed you may with no gift.

In a god's name, leaving carnage and torture unseen.
For we are all destined to pass
Regardless of race, color or creed.
Age matters not, for ALL shall pass,
Unto Thee and you shall bleed.
May your life never be wasted?
Do you have a song unsung?
Sing now, for death is approaching,
And waiting the "time" to come.

to smile outside
even though I'm
