You've got to be taught to hate and fear.
You've got to be taught from year to year,
It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear--
You've got to be carefully taught!
You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made
And people whose skin is a different shade--
You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be taught before it's too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate--
You've got to be carefully taught!
Love is quite different.
It grows by itself.
It will grow like a weed
On a mountain of stones;
You don't have to feed
Or put fat on its bones;
It can live on a smile
Or a note of a song;
It may starve for a while,
But it stumbles along,
Stumbles along with its banner unfurled,
The joy and the beauty, the hope of the world.
--Oscar Hammerstein II
