Instead of preaching love and peace
We are teaching ignorance and hate
There is no real bliss in ignorance
Just us high up in our tower
Not seeing those that need us
We are the world’s superpower
If there were never any immigrants
How empty our country would be
Our descendants all came from somewhere
To make this land one of the free
All religions are rooted in love
So we must practice what we preach
Help the young and needy here
Or see more like Aylan dead on the beach
It is okay to stay on our guard
For it would be foolish to forget our past
But we must set aside our empty fears
And bring our world together at last.
Empty Fears
– R. M. M. Erickson
