Edward Ibeh Poet Free verse

Depth of the Human Soul

in a perfect world, 
             we'd accept others 
           for who they truly are; 
                   we'd be free 
           of unconscious bias 
                against those 
who look differently than we do.
     we sadly have a tendency 
         to judge other people 
        based on appearances;
               what they wear.
                it matters not 
            the way we choose
          to present ourselves 
                 to the world,
              our inner beauty 
                is paramount; 
         eschew superficiality,
             plumb the depth 
           of the human soul.
