Tribalism is learned

 We’re born into beauty, we see it all around

How do others step on different dirt

Surely we’re the chosen, outside our frame is frozen

Teach the children why and who to hurt 

This  tribe is important, keep decrees and laws 

Others are just Cretans and creeps 

Stay within the tribe, if asked just don’t imbibe 

Pride and hate are two things this tribe keeps 

Who are other people, let’s just call them ‘they’

They don’t matter, they’re outside our gang

We’ve held on so long, oh wait, Dear God, we’re wrong 

Broken both all Law and prophets hang

This  tribe is important, keep decrees and laws 

Others are just Cretans and creeps 

Stay within the tribe, if asked just don’t imbibe 

Pride and hate are two things this tribe keeps 

This  tribe is important, keep decrees and laws 

Others are just Cretans and creeps 

Stay within the tribe, if asked just don’t imbibe 

Pride and hate are two things this tribe keeps.

1 Kings 11:31-33

Then he said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘See, I am going to tear the kingdom out of Solomon’s hand and give you ten tribes. But for the sake of my servant David and the city of Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, he will have one tribe. I will do this because they have forsaken me and worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Molek the god of the Ammonites, and have not walked in obedience to me, nor done what is right in my eyes, nor kept my decrees and laws as David, Solomon’s father, did.

Matthew 22:37-40

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
