The poem’s words say it all…..
~~~
How is it the color of one’s skin
Somehow defines what is held within
Or the different shape of someone’s eyes
Speaks to all that is found inside
~~~
How does a certain ancestry
A derivative of past history
Determine the worth of mortal soul
And relegate them to a given role
~~~
How does the God they reflect
Not earn the same kind of respect
That we demand for our own
When who is right remains unknown
~~~
How does their place of birth
Determine their only worth
This thing they did not choose
Insignificant and nothing proves
~~~
How does their cultural difference
Portray any truth by inference
How do their beloved traditions
Delineate the human condition
~~~
How does an odd sounding name
Saddle them with random blame
A long and proud family lineage
Is nothing we should disparage
~~~
How does the accent we hear
