Beasts hunt my kin, my family
Because we aren't perceived as human in the eyes of hypocrites
Our beaten bodies burn on their pyres
And get swallowed up in shallow graves

No one dares cast a passing glance
Towards our fallen brothers and sisters
We barely stand a chance
In this civil war of man

Why does this onslaught continue
The torment of hateful words and violence
We all bleed the same, don't we?
Aren't we all part of the same world?

Why would they persecute us?
We've done nothing to deserve this
They shout countless lies and derogatory profanities
With a quick and thoughtless ease

Sure, some of us are different
But that doesn't mean we're any less human
Some treat us like monsters, but we aren't
We're people too

Love is what we need to focus on
Why is it often disregarded?
So many people spread hate instead
Their vile words and actions affect us all
