Close Minded Ignorance

Looking around I seem to notice Ignorance and closed mindness Form a lot people who Don't even understand the clues Life is showing them each day That's here and will not go away Like couples of all shapes and sizes Ages, colors and surprises That hold hands staying so strong When these people treat them wrong Or a handicap that's a deterrent Not making life very pleasant As they smile and are proud With the gifts they are allowed Homelessness is growing fast But they will try and look past At the hardships faced each day Positive they'll be O.K. Someone sick and very ill Will not surrender cause they will Not worry about tomorrow Thankful for each minute borrowed So if you are one of those People with hearts and minds closed Just remember you will lose Perseverance will just prove The underdog will win this fight Holding on to faith so tight Helping them defeat a war Against those with a closed heart door

Close-mindedness really should end up on the list of the world's most heinous crimes. Nobody deserves the catastrophe a closed mind brings.

Being a gay man, I have suffered much discrimination at the expense of such close-minded people, so I really connected with this poem. Great write, Robin! :) <3
