Prejudice

My life ain't heaven

Hell! Even the path I tread is uneven

So many tears shed

Yet tears forgotten

Keep agitating my cryptic bed

Still I don't wanna be forgotten.

My tragedy

Exists because I was born before my time

But there are certain things for which I owe no apology

And this will do just fine.

The greatest pain discovered

Is that men judge a book by the cover,

What's the bother taking a peek?

Just a glimpse, men that's just deep

Enough to make their prejudiced judgement

Based on their fraternized mental dysfunctionment.
