Prejudice
Mindless anomalies!
Bantering comments!
Hurtful dispositions!
Obstructed vision!
Through the ages men have brought
Their teachings to the fore,
They ruminate and contaminate
Posterity all the more.
Angry visages and angrier words,
Poison to the souls,
That lurch and quiver, tremble, teeter,
Stretched to opposite poles!
The natural state exemplifies good,
The opposite engenders hate,
And in the scheme of exposure,
Perchance: Hades gate?
Born without a worry,
Born without a care,
The legacy they will incur
Conspicuous in their forebears!
