Why do you stand in the way of progress?
You with the apathy
You shrug, you ignore
Act as if it's miles away
Event when it's spilling into your path
Why do you stand in the way of hope?
You the selfish
You fatten with the shrinking of others
Then claim it was your hard work, grit, and knowledge
And guard your earnings with rage
Why do you stand in the way of love?
You with the "faith"
You cling to words in a book
That don't justify your hate
Claim God Almighty
Please don't use His name in vain
Why do you stand in the way?
More easy to give love and embrace true justice
Then to stand with colors of blame
We have to care
We have to hope
We choose love and must live with faith
And someday I know,
You will no longer be a wall
But rather an open gate in our way.
