Why Judge?

by

Amie Lancaster

Why do we judge each other?
Is it reall out of spite?
Why should it truely matter
If someone's black or White?
Catholic or Protestant- Gay or are you straight?
It's just one endless circlr- a neverending debate.
Why do we look down at these people- why do we fail to see?
That these people are human- standing trial for being free.
They are our second class citizens- not aloud to have a say
And i wonder when we'll stop all this- and push it all away.

We treat them dirty and put them down
We say our digust with a simple frown.
Did anyone stop to imagine why?
Why we do this to people until they die?
You think it's truely fair- the battle you've already won
But beneath the gloating, surely your asking what you've done.
We walk above them, occasionally stopping to critisize
The hurt is unbearable in their fragile, undeserving eyes.
They can't fight back, and won't even try
IT asks for a fight if you call back a reply.
We order them around- make usre that they know
There's no place for them near us- they have to let it go
It kills them inside, that of which i'm sure
It's slow murder people- lets not do it anymore.
