Judge me not for the way I dress,

Or the color of my hair,

Nor the Country I was born.

 

Only for what's inside,

and how I treat mankind.

I understand your fear,

Of something new, or

Unclear.

 

But unless we find a way

To disolve these unfavorable,

Thoughts,I fear

We will all be deprived,

And produce the next generation

Of  ignorance and unkind.

Yes, well put and thoughtful, Prettyrose.
'I understand your fear, Of something new, or Unclear.'
 made me think how we need to make more effort when the outward person is from a different background, upbringing, and the body language is a bit different, so easy to make assumptions and not seek to understand one another.

Aww thank you Rhiannon smiley I appreciate all you said and although short, I hoped it did come across, that I had thought about it, which I did, but I wasn't in the position to do any more, but I will probbaly add or tweak it, so let me know what you think if I do.
