Labels?

Where do they come from?

Politics, religion, nationality and race.

Why do labels exist today?

To divide us in disgrace.

Reduce the labels in the world,

Stop the injustice of the past.

The continuing feud of the future,

Then the labels cannot last.

The only label that matters,

Is the label of humanity.

For in that very label,

Acceptance we all receive.

We have all had slavery in history,

We have all faced negative labelling.

We have all been through dark times,

Labelling is the continuing sin.

The past teaches what labels create,

They lead to death and strife.

No more labels do we need,

Except humanity for life.
