Lift Your Blinds…

Ignorance cries out to all;
It hits our hearts each day.
It sickens for it does appall –
It causes mind decay.

This cancer grows by those who spread
Their vicious hate around;
The children listen – and I dread
To think they’ve been spellbound.

To teach a child they should hate
A color or a creed,
Is just about the ultimate…
‘To poison your own seed!’

Look hard at Man – we’ve all two feet,
Two arms, two eyes, one nose;
So what’s the difference?  I repeat,
What thoughts can you disclose?

Your logic has no sense, you see,
Man’s proven you’re dead wrong –
Who gave you power to decree
That only you belong?

How dare you think yourselves too good
For racial interchange;
You’re needed for the brotherhood
Of Man – we’re not that strange!

So lift your blinds, you’ll surely find
A world of friendly folks;
A warning – those not colorblind…
Ignorance provokes!
