Sides

Sides

Born into sides
Religious and tribal
Learning quite young
To fear and to rival

If we are Catholic 
We hate the Jews
If we are white
We do as we do

If we are men
We do as we want
If we are women
We’re told that we can’t 

If we are black
We’re told to go back
If we are red…
We’re mostly all dead

If we’re ALL Human
We’re on the same side
No one to fear 
No need to hide

I’m a humanist 
I love all my tribe
Won’t you come join us
Just take the Human Side
