The Problem With You Is Me

It’s time we simply just let go
        of things that we’ve been taught to know
Perhaps not by a mom or dad
                    but by the world, it’s just so sad

To trash this group for doing that
              “ It happens when that side’s at bat”
and these folks do or don’t belong
                      but how is being human wrong

It’s funny how a color plays
                      that history, if learned, conveys
Inherited ideas and blame
                  instead of thinking, what a shame

So have your God, your church, your pew
                 and live and let live, why can’t you
For wrong is wrong and right is right
                and many books can shed that light

Let’s look inside and just find love
                             from around or from above
And maybe you’ll begin to see
                        The problem that I have is me

My go to is always going to be Jesus, the real Jesus not the Hollywood version. What he says and believes is what I say and believe. It often caused him conflict but he never backed down. Nor will I. Still, love holds out hope for the unbeliever and sinner

- "Let's look inside and just find love" ... knowing that we have the opportunity to change for the better is one step closer, Mike :) - hugs

Words of wisdom Mike, we can't be right all the time and we should be the bigger person and own up to it. We should all show respect to others regardless of colour or religion, life is too short to bear grudges. Tom

It would be a wonderful idea for everyone to take a look inside and find what may be the problem with us. People don't agree on issues but that's not a reason to get testicle about them. lol sorry but it's true.
