Difference Exist

Gesenia Burley

Race, Race is a case
Always thrown in our face;
Like it’s something we can erase.

Gender, Gender;
Subject is so tender.
Honest opinions are unspoken
Because out spoken thoughts are provoking.

No perfect height, weight
Fat, skinny, short, tall
Eat less, or Eat more;
your outside is never ignored.

Language is criticized
like it can be changed or something we have a choice to decide.
Clothes are a factor,
“No style” leads to laughter.
Jocks are the trend;
While nerds don’t fit in.

Political views are hushed
Causing friendships to be divided.
So, out said feelings our shunned; left untouched.
All because a decision someone had decided. 

Religions, beliefs, are better than the other.
Causing conflict in our spiritual relationship; with the One we choose to serve.
Our judgement causing people to feel underserved.
When the creator tells us to accept others: so they become our sisters and brothers.

 

Churches, beliefs, are one of the strongest the main prejudice,

We face everyday; it's a huge, huge nemisis.

From the beginning of days,
It was here, from Satan to Eve;
Causing her to be deceived.
Ahh…Prejudice exist in so many ways

And sadly it’s here to stay.

Truth be spoken, its presence lies in you.
It needs no leader
It’s up to you to choose
to accept people and their different features.

Prejudice is a sin
That we all fall short in.
Each being a bully
To someone we don’t accept fully

Yes, we ALL fall short
To this sin of some sort.
But Christ our maker;
Our creator,
In Him are No mistakes.

You are not displaced or a disgrace
Your everything, will He embrace
Know for certain,you, He never will Forsake.

    Good write. I have a philosophy which says if anybody has a problem with the way I am that is their problem - not mine.
