UNDERSTAND

There's a lot of things I don't understand,

But the biggest has to be

How predjudice is everywhere,

But acceptance is scarce,

And looked down upon.



So,love is evil,

And hate is divine?



What's up with that?

Could someone please tell me

What's going on?



What's wrong?

Can't answer me,can you?

Speechless?

I thought so.

Well,let ME tell YOU what I think it is...



I think you're all just scared;

Afraid of what you don't understand.

So you build a wall around yourselves

To protect yourselves

From all you feel is different...



But different isn't necessarily wrong.



And sweeping your predjudices,

Fears,

And insecurities under the rug

Aren't going to make them go away.



If you really want to

Overcome the problems

That are no one else's but YOURS,

First,

You must learn

To try

To understand.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

It would be really nice if everyone could try to open up and at least attempt to understand something they don't know,or just aren't used to.Then,maybe we could all discover that we're not really so different after all.
