LABELS
Labels, labels everywhere what do they mean why should we care,
Labels are meaningless and only serve to divide us,
Labels on people labels on groups tear off the labels and unite the world into one hoop,
Labels are strong labels are unjust labels are wrong, forget them we must,
Labels to the children of the future shall be unknown if this world is to remain their home,
Ash's to ash's, dust to dust remove the labels and build upon trust.

Thy Child
A Conversation
Thy child weeps, what is wrong, what shall we do?
Hug thy child, love thy child, kiss away the pain.
Thy child hungers, what shall we do?
Feed thy child, share your bread with thy child, teach thy child to reap.
Thy child misbehaves, what shall we do?
Show thy child how to live, what to do, their only asking for direction. A sign that say's "DON'T WALK", "DON'T RUN", don't do this, don't do that, gives no direction. One that say's "Walk this Way", we do it like this, isn't that a nicer way, shows a direction, points down the path.
Thy child has gone away, what shall we do?
Look upon thy child, you have weeped together, hungered together, reaped together, grown together, learned together, misbehaved together. You have shown thy child your path, thy child will follow his as you have followed yours. Thy child will point the way for your grandchildren.
Thy child remembers, what shall we do?
It is done.

thanx*Rick...
It takes two, to create a division, therefore one can offer to prevent it.

Great video with a good message. It is a shame that many will not embrace it because we have become victims to this most divisive dellima. But, to embrace the truth of this, liberates us from it.

yes*indeed, mankind is often, much less than kind, testing ones compassion and ability to open their heart, though i*find taking comfort in the reality that . . .
From the death throes of the past, shine forth the brilliant rays of the future, as those who cling to outdated doctrine and cultural obscurity are trapped beneath the burden of their own ignorance and neglect of righteous change, opening the way for truth to radiate forward.
. . . is of great importance to maintain ones clarity.
