You've Got To Be Taught
to Hate And Fear,
you've Got To Be Taught
from Year To Year,
it's Got To Be Drummed
in Your Dear Little Ear
you've Got To Be Carefully Taught.
-
You've Got To Be Taught To Be Afraid
of People Whose Eyes Are 'Oddly' Made,
and People Whose Skin Is A Diff'rent Shade,
you've Got To Be Carefully Taught.
-
You've Got To Be Taught Before It's Too Late,
before You Are Six Or Seven Or Eight,
to Hate All The People Your Relatives Hate,
you've Got To Be Carefully Taught!
Welcome to another, but not just another, Inauguration Day. Inauguration 2009.
Our first black,white,biracial, mixed president; choose your own label.
Our new president has his job cut out for him and I hope that he gets the job done.
As we pray for him, let us remember that the Obamas, the Reagans, the Churchills, the Moses, the King Sauls, and the other great leaders of this world merit hope....
Our Faith should always be in Jesus the Christ and He alone.
Nothing has changed.
I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught.
