Prejudice
Oh, the injustice of prejudice
Fear of what is not known to
A biased person who, in turn, sees
This thing of which they know nothing about
As evil.
Oh, the injustice of biased judgement
Anything different obviously
Cannot be good because 'tis not like
You and I because we're
Biased.
And, of course, the entire world
Is biased because everyone
Is different from everyone else, so therefore
We must all hate each other, because
None of us are alike, which, in turn,
Makes us all evil.
Naturally.
