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
