Judgemental stares cast shadows on the wall
As arrogance makes a hurtful call
One who wears black must want to kill
Murder must give them a dangerous thrill
One who is gay must have aids
Avoided as if they carry grenades
One who is Christian must banish to Hell
Those that sin must bid Heaven farewell
One who is black must be in a gang
Because they talk with a little street slang
Each one is different with something to give
We must all get along in this world we live
We were all created by the one and same God
Labled with hatred because we seem odd
If only people would look into the soul
They would see the beauty we contain as a whole

a good piece, we often hear the words do not judge a book by its cover, yet that is what most of us do all the time, we let first impressions affect us, and thoguh first impressions can be good they can be misleading too. we are all a part of the same race, humanity

Excellent
Very well express. So much deep thought flows from the words. Good luck in the contest.
