What would it be

The fact that animals get mange,

that we have people still living on the streets no matter where they are,

People dying from medical issues that have cures, families living in their car.

Injustices around our world, from adults to the children,

Healthcare issues causing people to be unable to afford basic care to live,

Inhumane lifestyles, inhumane care, do we not care for our own brethren?

The violence that is in our world should never overthrow the value of any living beings.

The balance in our society has been corrupted for so long everyone forgets we are all people, we are all human beings, not everyone is looking for something to topple.

We all bleed, we all feel, we have all fucked up at one point or another,

We all have shadows of hard times following us back into the light, walking together.

We throw religion as a reason for hate, we throw out color as a reason for hate,we bring up education as a reason for hate, we bring up music as a reason for hate,

We bring up just about anything that is different from our likes and views as a reason to hate, high society and low society.

Why is it necessary to find a reason to belittle them?

Music, Religion,Language, none of these things should be reason to hate another person's heart, their mind anything about them.

It does NOT matter what music someone listens to,

Gospel-Rap, Country-Death Metal, Blues-Rock & Roll,

What matters with music is the lyrics and how it makes one feel, people connect with different genres on different days and different moods.

Why would you limit yourself to only accepting certain flows?

Music much like poetry, flows and changes depending on the artist,reaching out to different people and different hearts.

They're all great genres if you open your mind to listen.

It does NOT matter what faith one has,

I know Satanists who are the most upstanding of citizens,

I know Christians who would murder anyone who spoke ill of their favorite shirt.

I have many Christian Witches in my family as well, those who find faith in Christianity and still practice their witchcraft.

Personally I found many lore in which I place my Faith,

I follow my ancestors with Paganism, Native American Shamanism and Witchcraft.

I do no harm as I should, but shall take no shit from Haters.

Many people follow Chrisitanity and hide their craft in the closet for fear of being labeled “fake Christian”.

Anyone who sits high enough on their perch to determine someone else's faith as fake, has never looked far enough into their own.

Faith is all about belief, if what someone else believes and holds dear is fake to you then so what??

Are they murdering people? Are they raping people? Are they hurting animals? Raping children? Abusing anyone? Kidnapping them?

If they are not hurting people or things in any way then sorry they are not a threat to you or your faith, and there is no real reason to hate them for it.

If you feel the need to hate or reject someone based on what they believe make sure you've done your research on their faith AS WELL AS YOUR OWN.

Ignorance is the key cause of hate, and anger. Take it upon yourself to make sure your are not an ignorant fuck.

Pro-life? Awesome!

LGTBQ+?, fantastic!

Chrisrtian? Wonderful!

Satanist? Rock on!

Practice Witchcraft, Hoodoo or Voodoo?

Incredible!

NO ONE SHOULD CARE TO HATE UNLESS THERE IS REAL HARM BEING DONE!

And We the people who have a country based on FREEDOMS should be the ones to make sure that everyone is still really free.

FREEDOM of Religion, FREEDOM of Sexual Orientation, FREEDOM of Speech,

ALL OF THE FREEDOMS THIS COUNTRY WAS BUILT FOR!

As Parents, As Adults, As PEOPLE We Need to CHANGE OUR WORLD for the future Leaders can walk with no Fear, No Hate, so We can have the best world for everyone.

The Best world for:

ALL AGES.

ALL RELIGIONS.

ALL FAITHS.

ALL GENDERS.

ALL SEXUAL ORIENTATIONS.

Best world for all people.

As a mother I cannot stand to watch my children and their friends grow in such a dark world,

I have also begun shining more light on the brighter spots in life.

We go over Mother Nature and how to help her heal,

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Compost, Gardening, How we feel.

Helping others when we can and what we can do without money to help them too,

It's not much but the honest work is true.

So many things that we have grown accustomed to everyday,

so many things that simply should not be that way.

Day to day we go about our lives and hope these things come to an end,

But how much do we actually do to end them?

Ending global warming, ending homelessness, ending starving families,ending the HATRED,

Ending the lies we tell people of what we believe, ending the anger in our hearts for others if it is unjust.

Ending rape, Ending the stigma of rape and sex, ending brutal murders.

ENDING THE NORMALIZATION OF HUMAN DISREGARD, Ending unnecessary brutalies!

ENDING EVERYTHING THAT GOES AGAINST OUR PEOPLE!

Yes I do realize hoping for an absolute end to all these things is not realistic,

But if i could change anything in this life, I would change how many people are willing to add little changes in their life to help stop the majority of these issues amongst our own people.
