Never try to reach

Do they choose us

Or we choose them

Thoughts and beliefs

That stain us deep

Or are they written

When we are born

Nation or religion

Colour of skin

Clasping us tightly

In their bonds

Whatever the truth

Whatever the lies

We let them colour

Our everyday life

But deep down

In our hearts

Where

The buried truth lies

We never try to reach

We never try to reach
