Clouded Vision

Glaucoma, Cataracts, the dreaded sty, Seeing color in people is like a jaundiced eye. Racism, Bigotry, Judging others critically- Aversion to diversity and being equals cynically- Uppity eyes who like to pretend They don't judge others for their skin. But it goes both ways- it's equally not right- to resent a man because he's white. Like a disease without a cure- Unless we judge the character It's a rampant race no one will win. No one gets to choose their color of skin- Stereotypes, stigma but we need to try- To purge the yellow from our eyes. To see and hold all races dear- Because only then will our eyes see clear.
