Poem
Don’t blue eyed people have more fun? When others walk, don’t they run? Don’t they live life full until life is done? Don’t tow-haired people have more zest? Aren’t they dancing still, when others rest? In everything, don’t they do their best? Aren’t taller people always cool? Didn’t they get good grades attending school? Don’t they never seem to play like the fool? Don’t brown skinned people have more soul? Don’t they always get picked for the leading role? When a leak appears, don’t they fill the hole? Aren’t red headed people really more jolly? In trying times, don’t they look for folly? When trouble’s served, don’t they just volley? Aren’t green eyed people full of love? Don’t they have a power sent from above? Don’t they give a caress in response to a shove? Aren’t Caucasian people always right? When proven wrong, aren’t they contrite? Don’t they always keep fairness in their sight? Aren’t the shorter ones full of verve? When danger comes, don’t they keep they nerve? On life journey, don’t they handle the curves? Don’t heavy people have more compassion? Don’t they always behave in proper fashion? Aren’t all their decisions based upon ration? Isn’t the yellow man smarter than most? And if he is so, does he never boast? Aren’t they the wisest from coast to coast? Aren’t brown-eyed people loved by all? Don’t they long to serve others at beckon call? When friends are blamed, won’t they take the fall? Isn’t the thin person who everyone covets? Don’t they get to wear couture and seem to just love it? Weren’t they the ones chosen by teachers to be pets? No And I’m sorry if your bubble is burst. You got it all wrong, you won’t be the first. Rest assured your mistakes aren’t the worst. But tall and short and in between, Both white and black, dull and keen, Brown eyed, blue, black and green, They are a mixture of people made up of all types. Don’t give in to the usual stereotypes. Don’t be fooled by preconceived hype. Don’t figure a person is something they’re not. Don’t make assumptions based on something you thought. Don’t attempt to stick a circle in a square slot. Give each person you meet the chance to reveal Whether preconceived notions are false or are real. Get to know all about them from their head to their heel. Remember that to same species we all belong So before you prejudge remember this song It’s better to be broad-minded than it is to be wrong It’s oh so much better to be open than it is to be wrong.
