Now I Care

I never cared about the color of your skin I see us all as equal women and men, But, what really was hurtful and made me mad How you blamed me for the problems that you had I never cared about your political affiliations or how you voted I didn't care how you bragged or how you boasted, To your beliefs I was thoughtful and very kind But, I hated it when you condemned me for mine. I never really cared where you were born Here, there, anywhere and never did I scorn, But, when you want to erase my ancestry and my history Because you were here before me, I hate it for the misery. I never cared what your religion or belief was As long as you cared and helped and forgave and loved, But, I hated it when your damning my religion and my belief Just to hurt me and bring me sadness and grief. I never cared how you wanted to hurt me I never cared how different things we did see, But, now I care And now for you I will forgive and I will say a prayer. Randy L. McClave
