Can't You See?

There's something going terribly wrong,
terribly wrong with the world today.
It's a mockery, it's called bigotry,
I think that I have something to say.

These feelings that you have,
for the other people, are so absurd.
Instead, take a look what's inside,
why don't you take heed of these words.

There's something wrong with society,
judging others by the shade of their skin.
It's prejudice and it's injustice,
why can't you take a look within?

What makes you better than the others,
so damn better than all the rest?
Is it your wealth or is it their color,
whatever it is, prejudice, I detest.

Why don't you take a look at their heart,
instead of the appearance, ripping them apart.
These thoughts that come from your mind,
are so twisted, it's making you blind.

Being black or white, rich or poor,
can't you see, it's not needed anymore?
Can't you see, that this isn't the way?
Prejudice sucks, is all that I can say.

Answer me this,
why are you full of this hate,
why are you full of this thing called bigotry?
This is a poem that I dedicate,
for all the people that refuse to see.
