A Better Future for Humanity


Who am me?
Who are we?
Who am I? 
To you 
To thee,
The anonymous judger
Wouldn’t that make me 
The unfortunate judgee?
 
Judge not the cover of the book
You must look inside to see
To read the true identity
And avoid turning him/her into
Another one of those “Judgees”
 
For it is only within where
You may scrutinize
So it is possible to understand and realize
Analyze not criticize
Go ahead and investigate
 
This way you cannot concentrate 
On that unwanted hate
Coming from the stereotypes
That welcome prejudice
Disabling fairness
Unwilling to allow the unique
Making it impossible to critique
Only leaving room for the dull, mundane, the ordinary
 
Which is contrary to the path
We must take for 
A Better Future for Humanity
