It’s a Shame

We never learnt

To unlearn

Prejudice

Running deep like veins

Trapped beneath the skin

Where does one begin?

Wiping the slate clean

Certainly not a reality

It seems

We never learnt

To relearn

Tolerance

Running wild like a perfects storm

Trapped in more than a teacup

Where does one begin?

Building a new dream

Certainly a possibility

It seems

We never learnt

To learn

Acceptance

Running slow like the droplets to the might river

Trapped in the worry of forbearance

Where does one begin?

Question the one within

Certainly a prospect

It seems
