We live in a world of so many ethnic divides

The future is in trying to unite

Healing the damage trying to make things right,

The colour of your skin or your belief

Makes you in no way different from me,

It’s nothing we see when we are kids

It’s something our parents and peer group taught,

To fear anything you don’t understand

But I for one think if we all join hands,

We can connect in every land

And work on a new manifesting plan,

Where as ordinary people we cast away the hate

Sing with one voice and cast discrimination away,

Build societies in better stronger displays,

Where all lives matter and we are all colour blind

It’s not that any longer that defines,

Just the kindness and compassion

That flows through your heart,

Is it not about time we give love, peace and unity a chance

And rediscover the humanity in you,

People are all unique and individual

And that the honest truth,

So we are all different in our own little ways

But let’s not make this be a cause for discriminatory hate.

I know mostly what’s going down

I listen an pay attention to the sounds

I question everything that I see

I have an ever evolving belief

It flows, it’s flexible no it’s not fixed

But I know that when I speak

I am mostly talking to myself.

When I speak of corruption that comes from wealth

From the lack of belief in self

From seeing the destruction of our planet

From seeing wars and how all governments plan it

And how they abuse the power they’ve been granted

But I know when I speak

I am mostly talking to myself.

And when I put out messages of love and peace

When I write words of light and spirituality

When I discuss our transcendent conscious growth needs

When I crave for equality

I know I am mostly speaking to myself

But any changes have to start with you and me

Which is why we all need to reach out

Even though we know

We are mostly speaking to ourselves

And in a hope that everybody else

Decides to listen and give some help

So that, in the end

We are not all just speaking to ourselves.

I remember my younger days,

never seen dressed in anything other than black,

an anti fashion statement,

right up until it became the fashion,

I don’t do uniforms

it’s just another way to conform,

so an Anrcho-punk I was,

did not always look like you would have thought

I would look

and some people said to me,

‘you are not committed obviously’

I asked why because I don’t always spike my hair,

or always wear bondage gear,

I said that’s your perception of how I should be

but what you think, has nothing to do with me,

you know nothing about me

and I am not a victim of fashion,

the way that I feel is within

not the way I am dressing,

I don’t care to be identified

why should I accept your confines

and why should I dress how you say

I will live life my own way,

I will not be labelled, I will not be boxed,

I am individual so thanks a lot

for your views,

a slave to fashion and movements are you

I wont dance to that tune,

I am existentialist in truth,

living a life that’s self governing

and responsible to no one, not even you,

I’ve adopted a position of self rule,

so please don’t judge me on things that I do.

Equality is a human right

But you need also the foresight

To see it within yourself

And then resonate it in everyone else

And this will come back to you

Equality for me and you

Is a very worthwhile belief

But often denied so never achieved

Unless we break the chains used by society

To hold down and oppress you and me

Cast them aside and live outside

Their unfair and biased confines.
