Different

Who are you?

are you black or are you white?

are you wrong or are you right?

Did you vote for who we told you to?

Did CNN control you?

Are you a servant at the mercy of handouts?

Are you so angry you can only shout?

How do you enjoy your right to destroy?

How do you live with the tactics you employ?

Wasn't love supposed to be your battle cry?

Wasn't it you who said that I should die?

When did freedom to choose become so conditional?

When did it become wrong to be more traditional?

Why is freedom of speech only free for you?

Don't I deserve that freedom too?

I don't think our differences should tear us apart.

Shouldn't we all learn to have bigger hearts?
