No Room for Hate in the Garden of Love

hate runs through their veins
some ways are too strange
so they turn away
judgment for a man in a skirt
how dare she not want to be looked at
in such a manner
mothers clutch your purse
your child might see reality
that freedom isn't a given
it's only for the selected
suppression for anyone who dares be different
in my mind
does it really matter,
where someone wants to poop?
women sports might be dominated
is that what they really care about?
I think it's just people making up problems
to add to their everyday fears
it's a ever changing world
I won't live like that
I won't be a scaredy-cat
don't need a gun at my bedside
to feel safe to live my fucking life

do as I say
not as I do
and I'm here like
fuck it all
have faith in God
while the church teaches hate
and I'm here like
fuck it all

I know many homosexuals
funny thing
I coudn't tell a difference
only on who they love
so who's gonna burn in hell?
please, tell me again
how God taught you how to hate
show me the way of lies
for I can put my head down in shame
making issues out of nothing
dehumanizing to make yourself feel human
why can't they just do what you do?
I say does it even effect you?
how I wish to never know such selfishness
I rather spend my time planting seeds of love
hope it grows into hope
cutting the weeds of hate out
they don't belong in the garden that is my heart
