HERITAGE

Life is passing you by when you don\'t see what is right

Living a lie as you live in the night

What is it your trying to find living in the past

 

Your heritage 

Locks you in a museum of intimidation and hate

What you celebrate is a waste of a day. 

 

Life has so much to experience you don\'t want to miss this.

There is no threat in peace when together we resist

A legacy of giving will last.

 

My heritage

Is the exclusion of hate and inclusion of love

From the mind and heart is where it comes from

 

Life is learning and living forever; it is about giving.

Where is your morality? Giving it away doesn\'t make you free.

No control over your mind; your just a political zombie 

 

Our heritage

Is understanding one another living as sister and brothers

Drink from the cup of life knows the difference between wrong and right.

 

Life is much more than a competition to get much more.

Your experience is not mine; my experience is not yours.

It is about you, the soul, the time that you hold as you grow old.
