Why Is It

Most don't look beyond or below the surface,
to find other's uniqueness and intelligence.
Age, Weight, shape, accepted look of the day,
should these really be what kindles interest,
and determines whether acceptance is extended to another?
These are standards not of the heart, or spirit.
Fleeting in life they will certainly be.
Do those who judge superficially,
see the inevitable toll in themselves,
that life takes each day.
Eventually to be judged, like they have judged.
What will they then say?
