NOTE BEFORE READING: BY NO MEANS AM I TRYING TO DISCRIMINATE OR STEREOTYPE ANYONE. THESE ARE JUST OBSERVATIONS I’VE MADE. THE STUFF IN ITALICS DOES NOT IMPLY THAT IT IS ONLY ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT SAY IT! I’M TRYING TO INCLUDE ALL TYPES. PLEASE DON’T TAKE OFFENSE AND IF POSSIBLE, MAKE A COMMENT. I’M OPEN TO IMPROVEMENTS IN HOW TO EXPRESS THIS.

Cruel Realities

Look, look…

That girl, that guy…

With those horn rimmed glasses…

They’re geeks, so terrible jerks!

No life!

Look, look…

Those Asian people…

They’re stupid people

That don’t know anything…

Look, look!

Those blacks…

They don’t do

Nothing cept

Jam bout on their radios

And be dumb.

Look, look!

See them run…

They can’t

Do anything

For their lives!

Look, look!

Some of them whites…

They too fat to be

like the rest of us whites…

Ha! Look, look…

We’re better

Than all of them.

We’ve white pretty skin…

Tall and thin…

Not too fat…

Not too “smart”…

Not too...

Look, look!

Those Indian guys…

How can they strut

When they’re all poor?

Hey, wait, over there!

Some girl…

What terrible taste in clothes!

Look, look!

Look over there!

I don’t care.

I don’t discriminate

Or stereotype.

Or maybe I do.

I don’t. I try not to.

Look, look!

Please stop.

Look, look!

Don’t you realize

There are all types

Of different people?

Look, look!

Look yourself!

Open your eyes

And see the truth

All around!

Look, look!

Don’t you understand?

Yes I do!

Look, look!

Oh, I’m so happy for you…

Look, look!

At that girl!

Those girls spilled

Tomato soup over her!

Totally deserving..ha!

Look, look all around!

See the blindness

So many possess.

Nationalities, personalities…

What do they matter to those like that?

What do the people not put

aside their differences?

Why don’t they stop making

 false comments?

Why? Why?

Pity, the world will never be whole.

Pity, the world will never be united…

Pity the world for all its faults…

Look, look…
