Shadow of Prejudice
Don't you wish the shadow of prejudice would lift off the earth
And evaporate into infinity, out in unbounded space
Where it was hurled
Taking with it the power to influence all human kind.
The we would truthfully charge an abuse, each single Time
Then only the blind could see and feel
What is a disguise and what is real
It would take the touch, or the memory,
To spot the enemy
Gentle feelings we have tamed not to surface
Will conquer and rule to practice their purpose
Wars will be extinct, we will solve problems equally
Renewal over disaster
The whole will be satisfied, not just glory for
The master
You could be branded a savage, but only of your deeds
The shadow of prejudice successfully seals true needs
Every soul that enters won't be bias by opinions on
their part,
And when the soul is done with Life's debate
Justice will be fair when they depart |
The Rookie Over in the
corner a shadow stands still
I turn on the light, through my body a chill
The room is musty the furniture worn
In the middle of the floor lies a lifeless form
My partner's a Rookie, he's knees went weak
It's his first time for a scene this bleak
The body, beaten and bruised beyond repair
A woman so frail, dried blood in her hair
When the light was turned on the corner shadow slid down
The tiny child shaking, as she wept in a mound
There was blood on her fingers, and some on her cheek
Marks on her Moms head showed the child's fingers made the blood streaks
Her little fingers were stroking as she whispered,
"Mommy don't die"
When there was no response, she put her cheek on Mommy to silently cry
The Rookie walked over, knelt and held out his arems
In the eyes of the child were tears and alarm
She held out her Dolly and said, "take her first
My Dolly doesn't understand, and she hurts the worst
Please be kind to my Dolly and don't treat her mean
She is made of cloth, she's not a human beint"
The Rookie took the doll and with a quiver in his voice "I will
treat her gentle, and to you I'll be kind"
His eyes were moist
"Just like your dolly you're Mom needed kindness,
But she had no choice
If you will trust me just once I will be kind to you
I want you to know humans need kindness too"
"Will Mommy wake up and take care of me?"
The child's question revealed what the Rookie's
Job would be.
