Helen Keller...was not prejudiced

Wen you think about it…how could she have been?

for no matter how she tried 

she could not see the color of ones skin.

When asked about this she would smile

then try briefly to explain,

“How could I judge you on your color,” she’d say

“when you all look the same.”

“I cannot see through my eyes

ethnicity or race.”

“I cannot not feel religion

upon a person’s face.”

“I have no time for prejudice”, she’d say

for hatred or bigotry,

I only have a moment on Earth

and there’s so much I want to see.”

I do not know what it was like to be her…

I can’t even theorize….

But how I wish we all saw the world

through Helen Keller’s eyes.
