Let's NOT Ban The Burqa.

This world is broken.
In every place,
And in words that are unspoken;
This problem is far beyond race.

Can it be fixed is a silly question,
Because it can.
The real question is who will?
It is time to address the aggression,
The congestion
And the depression.

It's okay to be Muslim,
It's okay to be gay,
And it's okay to be black.

But not everyone knows this, a fact that is grim.
So now let's say it louder for the people in the back.
