Try To Be Understanding
My beliefs may be alien to you
I’ve heard it said that I’m a crazy ol’ kook,
And I admit it, sometimes I deserve a boo,
But I must tell you, I do not deserve a rebuke.
My beliefs are as valid as yours
Since no one knows all the answers to life,
We know so little, even after cosmic tours
Disputation often arouses too much strife.
So, why castigate those who are different
Is it that we fear those who are not like us?
Think carefully before becoming a dissident
And try not to throw anyone under the bus!
