To the man who shouted his ignorance at my aunt and uncle in the parking lot.
Sir, you see, you must be mistaken Your slur was not comedic, yet you laughed I want you to know your words have weight Spreading hate seems to be in style While I exercise compassion for you Yes, I know you're wrong I've struggled with this for so long You know, I'm sad you're missing out on life Happiness in short supply Love on the back burner as hope continues to die You see, I can't help but feel pain Your kids in the back seat watching your hate being displayed Like a bad movie Terrible quality, script repulsive You chuckle "One ******, two ******, three ******, four" Out your drivers side window I clutch firmly on the door Hoping, I heard you wrong If I could tell you one thing it would be this, Life is to short to have hate in your heart Part of me feels so dark Anger welling up inside I cried the whole car ride home Unable to fathom how they must be feeling Dealing with a world rooting against them I never knew people could be like this Our skin doesn't define us Not its color, texture, or shade You sir, may think you have it all figure out But I can promise you this, The day you stop being hateful of our differences, you'll realize life is so much more than one color, It's the incredibly indescribable combination of them all
