Acceptance of Others

You need to find a learning curve
So you do not sway and swerve
Into trouble that you find
Each and every single time
You start making jokes and fun
When you look and see someone
Who is just a little different
You start having a judgement
When they do not act or look
Like you--your throwing a book
Of bad manners their direction
With disdain and criticism
You shout vulgar and untasteful words
Bringing a bad sting of hurt
To those who just want to be
Part of a society
That will accept and not shun
Being caring--not poke fun
At people trying to live
In a world that wants to give
Everyone a chance to find
Happiness on down the line
BY acceptance of others
Remember we're all sisters and brothers
In this world -- it would be great
Not to show any more hate
