Precious

Life is precious

Every baby born a miracle

Every death a tragedy

Then why do we treat it with carelessness

We spit on its ideas

We attack it with words and violence

We tear each life down that is not our own

Yet life is precious

We tack on labels to each other

And allow ourselves to be labeled

We call each others demeaning things

Like sluts and faggots

B words and dirty whores

F boys, pricks, a player or a pimp

We separate ourselves into groups

Like feminist

Lgbt

White

Black

We are taught what to think

How to feel about those who disagree

Blame those who don’t fall into our groups

Be the first to be offended

Be taught to be victims

And vilify everyone else

Yet we claim all life is precious

We want justice for one side

Yet when it is reversed we sit there and laugh in their face

We forget about fact

And focus on biased studies and statistics

We look only at things to support our opinions

And anyone who tries to play our advocate

We claim they are racist

Sexist

And tell them

they have no clue what it would be like

When we have no idea what they been through

We group all those who don't agree

As them and not us

Life is precious

And death is a tragedy

So why don’t we start acting like it

Let's treat each life as precious

And each life tragic when it’s lost

No matter who the person is

Let's treat them as precious

And any type of death tragic
