"Said we go to war just to bring us together, I believe in Love, I believe in forever..."

"Eyes see everything..." -Devon Torble,

"Caught up in love"- Joseph M. Lyons,

"I speak my words, through a broken truth,
...I bite my lip, and taste its guilt,
I see heaven on the horizon, but I turn my back,
Paradise must wait,
For when it dies,
The truth shall be revealed…" - Joseph Michael Lyons,

"Seen through an angel’s eyes,
I’ve found love where it truly lies,
And when that angel cries,
All my pain slowly dies…" - Cassandra Burnes and Joseph Lyons

There is no difference between you and I,
We are all men we hurt…we cry,
Beaten down…thrown away,
All are equal…all must stay,
When I see you, I see no color,
I will love you, be your brother,
Selfish notions of the skin,
To be different is a sin,
And though we are different you and I,
I will make you happy… no more sighs,
Though the journey is ruff and steep,
We bear no difference, it is merely skin deep.

Don't be racist, it's a pointless and extremely ugly personality trait...we are all equal so treat everyone that way...
