Judgement

How people judge others

Three men I know


All young and bold


 


The lucky first


From Caribbean isle


Sun soaked flesh


An ebony black


 


Number two


Indian man this


His skin tone


A lighter hue


 


Our last male


English born


His colour white


For no sun here


 


Each of these


In action seen


 


Inncocent woman


Vicious attack


Local street


Culprit is


One of three


 


Another he saw


Victim’s plight  


No involvement


Was his choice


Not his problem


 


Nor of last


Truth be told


Didn’t matter


To stranger’s aid


Unselfishly leapt


 


Why to tell


This little tale


 


Simple


I wish to learn


How you view


Our young men


 


Maybe their colour


Blinded your eye


Assumptions made


Often wrong


 


My preference


By their deed


Them I’ll judge


You?

Written viciously from a very different point of view. Prejudice is ignorance. Thought provoking.
