Unconscious Bias

Why would someone judge someone 
by what color their skin is?
Or where they are from?
or who they love?

Life is truly not fair
and people aren't nice to each other

There are so many beautiful things
in this world
Nature, love, music, and some people
There are many people with nice pretty faces
that show a different side to different people
they are very friendly to some yet spew hate to others

There are people that I love dearly that have darker
skin than I do.  So what?
There is someone that is very dear to my heart
that is gay.  So what?
One of my dearest friend's child is married to someone
of a different nationality.  So what?

I strive to be the person that does not judge the outside
wrappings of a person.  But if you have a hard heart,
then all bets are off!
