Prejudice: an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, a group, a race, or their supposed characteristics.

Prejudice is all around us,
It has not left our presence,
It still rears its ugly head,
In our world today

You’re black,
You’re brown
You’re yellow,
Get out of here.

You’re a female,
You’re a trans,
You’re a handicap,
I have no time for you.

You’re different,
Not the same,
My mind is closed,
And I’m uncomfortable.

Come on people,
Get the memo,
We are equal,
Brother and sisters of man.
