The tattered focused lens So bad at point of view The rain falls off the glass And into the street The camera's lens is false A figment of a humans viewpoint It is a humans opinion The minds foreign thoughts It plans on basing Everything it see's By looks alone It goes no deeper than the surface A photo of a smiling family But maybe on the inside of things Murderers and theives Who live in paranoia of getting caught A picture of a girl Playing with some other girls Maybe that girl lost her mother to cancer And her dad is never home because he always working How many times have we all Took a glimpse of someone And thought we knew who they were? What they were like? What kind of family they grew up with? It's sad to say we do Judging books by their cover Or judging people by their color Without thinking much about it A captured image Portrayed in black and white Discrimination, colors, races Who have we become? Or people just like us And we don't take the time to listen Are our problems more important Than those that were of a little girl who killed herself because other people made fun of who she was? And most of us would say "I am a good person" Just look at yourselfs! A bunch of mindless talkers Who don't know they've helped **** innocent people This problem is not beyond the realm of possibility of fixing unlike those of fixing the ozone layer or helping rebuild the polar ice caps, This is fixable, do-able, So lets fix it... We're all one people in the same world if you think about it that long, This is what the world POV should be...
