We Are All Truly Brothers

When it comes to our bigotry
we're born pure, without it.
But in the wrong environment
we tend to learn and form it.


Coming then from parents
yes from family and our friends.
We're often taught to share their hate
and their prejudice extends.



They bring us up to be like them
not realizing what they've wrought.
It's likely not their fault at all
it's just what they've been taught.



But others live within our world
we can seem different as night and day.
These differences though they be few
should never get in our way.



Just as we've then learned to hate
we can also learn to love.
If not from those surrounding us
let it come from up above.



Whether from Yahweh or from Allah
The Great Spirit or from Jesus
the one we like to call our God
our creator is who can teach us.



This love now that we need to show
should be extended to all others.
It's time that we start treating folks
as we are all truly brothers.
