I Was Never Prejudice

When I were a child
The world wasn’t so wild.
Everybody loved me,
That time, when I was free.

My freedom had a cost,
I have pain almost.
I were always a child,
Learning is a matter,
But a living subject isn’t mild.

My heart isn’t like you.
You planted jealousy,
That developed as hate,
You protected it as a nationalist.
I was never prejudice,
But you forced me to think.

I can’t secure me,
You marked my progress as shrubs,
Around me,
I am unable to remove thorns.

I can’t live as a human,
Nobody cares for my human beings.
My human rights are scratched,
With their strong iron nails.

I like to say,
I have a pray for you,
You shall be as sound,
As I need you.
