Without Prejudice
Take a stroll through your past life
It’s horrifying isn’t it, what you’ve found?
A past that continually haunts you
Choices made irresponsibly unsound
Now take an in-depth look again
Dismiss the prejudice you possess
So much conflict and anger
A learned behavior to be my guess
Someone poisoned your thoughts
Teaching you chauvinistic displays
Someone taught you incorrectly
Without prejudice was never a way
Take an unprejudiced look at your life now
And all that you’ve become
Don’t be foolish and fall under
Her bigotry; you’re under her thumb
Remain unbiased and always remember
All the fairness I’ve preached to you
Approach each person without prejudice
For the next one to be judged, could be you
