Beware Of Prejudice

Part of the human brain wants to judge To judge all that you have never encountered Smearing the unknown with black ink Fortifying the fear deeply seated in your soul Closing your eyes to new experiences Prejudice brings injury to human life Plastering the unknown truth with fear Mutilating human relations With unforgiving judgments Puncturing the hope for peace & togetherness Prejudice has given birth to many ills Racism is the first born of prejudice Tribalism and xenophobia are conjoined twins Born out of the same prejudice womb The poisonous ideas that inhabit human minds Were never meant to see daylight And should be kept hidden In the darkest corners of the human mind
