Dear Society
Dear society,
You have to stop creating
These images of people
To which they must conform.
You have to stop making
People think that in
Everyday life, they must perform.
The way that people look,
The colour of their skin
Or the colour of their hair,
The way they hold themselves up
Or the clothes that people wear,
Should not affect the way you treat them
Or the privileges that they are given.
Dear Society,
Not everyone is the same
Not everyone from one specific group
of people is to blame.
Look past your first impression
Or your automatic connection
Stop turning to assumption
And start looking at discussion.
Construction
Progress and Production
Build on the introduction.
Don’t judge a person before you’ve
Even started talking.
You can’t tell what direction they’re
Going in before they’ve started walking.
