Judging Others By Appearance

Judging Others By Appearance By Elton Camp For some we have a hatred or fear Almost as soon as they come near The lady dressed just a bit too cute Some assume must be a prostitute Perhaps a boy dressed a certain way Is, by others, immediately called gay A man in a suit, respect won’t lack That is, unless he happens to be black A priest with his collar turned around As if he’s a pedophile, others frowned The humped man, old and gray “An old fart,” is what they say When a Mexican some now see “An illegal alien he sure must be” What shows up on the outside Another person, though, may hide
