Thinking Barriers

Understanding and logic came to town
hoping they could stay around

They knocked on the door of a house
but negativity shouted them out

They waited for another day
but polarized thinking chased them away 

They discovered a spot to begin 
but prejudice did them in

They traveled to a place to speak 
but over generalizations made them weak

They tried to enter another household 
but jumping to conclusions stopped them cold

Understanding and logic left the town
hoping somewhere they could stay around
