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!
