We all judge everyone
Based on the cover
We never read the book
People always jump to the conclusion
That we are different on the outside
Don’t act like you never
Looked at the cover of a book
And never read the pages
And jumped to the conclusion
That the book is horrible
Or that the book is awesome
Don’t act like you were
Never in our situation
Don’t act like you
Never felt ashamed
Because you judged a book
Or a person by its appearance
Don’t act like you
Never felt hut or depressed
Because you were on
The receiving ends of those judgments
I don’t understand why
People live under a cloud
Of denial
Of misconception
Of misunderstanding
Read the first chapter of our books
And you will see that
We are sons and daughters
We are brothers and sisters
We are friends
Read the second chapter
And you will see that
We are students
We are of different ethnicity
We are of different religion
Read the rest of the book
And you will see that
We are no different
From everyone else
We are all humans
We are all God’s children
The covers of our books
May be different
But the chapters are the same
Conclusion: we ain’t that different
