[bodytext] => Prejudice Prejudice, pre-judging Something we all do It's the mixture of a million stereotypes That Individualises Me and You Look at me and judge me Do a cursory summing up My hair dyed, my fag butt My empty coffee cup My glasses, my teeth, my hat The cut and style of my cloth crosses so many boxes Before i even open my mouth My accent, my language, vocabulary So many more stereotypes for you to see Before i've made one gesture Before you hear a word i say Instinctively you will judge me And it has to be this way Moving through society Surviving as you can What part has this new person In my personal masterplan Will we pass by With little or no effect Or will we need to interact And what do we expect Expect to get a job done Expect a turn of phrase Expectations, be prepared The part survival instinct plays Negatives in every stereotype What percentage includes you Only living to a stereotype Makes the stereotype ring true It's only when negative stereotype Is all that you can see That prejudice becomes Pre-judging - unfairly Positive prejudice is preference displayed On likes and dislikes, decisions are made Somethings are made much harder By labels given to you We can all alter stereotype By the things we say and do Inexperience is not a sin Tis a sin to close your mind Accept your labels, as you give them out But don't by them be defined.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
