What Eyes Will See, and Ears Will Hear

I long for a time when perception will grow When in place of seeing a person’s coloring Instead, we will see their humanity glow For the way you perceive them is everything… When we will see the uniqueness of their dress Know that it displays a different tradition Heads are covered out of faith, not to impress To respect them should be our ultimate mission… To hear a new accent, and not be annoyed But recognize the uniqueness of their sounds And listen, their voices to be enjoyed Like a symphony, their variety abounds… Someday perception will have only one view Not of Them and Us, but of Me and You.
