Stop and think, now, for a spell
Pause. Take the time to dwell
On whom you choose to quell.
Do you think of them as "others"
Who are, in fact, all brothers,
And sisters, daughters, mothers?
And if it turns out it's the case
That you block them off by race
Reconsider your own place.
So, let me clearly state:
You'll never make things great
If you start with thoughts of hate.
