Prejudice

How can you sit
And wallow in a pit,
Rambling nonsense
That you don’t understand..
That a pure heart
Could never comprehend?

Those assumptions
And unnecessary judgement,
They are all just lies
That have been programmed
Into your mind,
And even you cannot see
The meaning,
Behind those words..
So why keep believing?

Diversity cuts like a knife,
And you would rather bleed
And die,
Than be a man
And take the stick
Out of your own eye
And see..
That life itself
Is a beautiful thing.
And prejudice
Is ignorance. And more venomous,

Than a killer bee sting.
