compassion comes in all shapes and sizes
but the lack of, sometimes surprises
it seems humans devolve and become more like beasts
and this is why you see compassion cease

compassion comes in all shapes and sizes
using people of all diversities as disguises
as time goes on, you would think, people would become more aware
but racism still exists behind the eyes of the detached stare

they say "There is a God"
well, then i want to speak
dear god, there has to be a reason you made us all different
but why did you make us so weak?

they say "There is a God"
but he is not here
the only reason they cling to faith
is because love is not stronger than fear

i have to write for a eyes of diversity contest and this is what i have so far, not done yet tho

Four billion years of evolutionary success.
and still, people cannot see.
Maybe a perfect world,
was never meant to be.

Four billion years of evolutionary success.
and racism still divides.
I remember...they used to tell me,
"Everyone is equal, in Gods eyes."
