In the old house up the hills - Yes, the one that gives you chills Whenever you walk by its fence - Lives someone who, no offense, Looks like she'd puts kids on grill. Children, puppies, all she'd **** For food. Lady who, probably, likes to Know the places each kid hikes to. There she, later in the day, Waits for village kids to stray. Some will die and some live on. Who? That really depens on Her mood. Some say that she used to snitch, Others say that she's a witch! Nobody was ever in The house whose walls are made of skin. Nobody would ever dare To set their foot on the porch where She stood. They'll never know that her kitchen Smelled like flowers, most bewitchin', They won't see her paintings, neat, Her living room where you could meet A fire giving warm embrace. And alongside her fireplace The wood. Now, if you got in, you'd stare on stinky fish bowls, everywhere, whose cloudy water calls for changing, and rooms in need of rearranging. But since you never really tried, No one knows the lady died. Yes she's dead for good.

Prejudice
I can see it in their eyes their disdain piercing through my ignorant gaze rolling in discontent weakening my resolve as they close to dismiss my very existence I can hear it in their voices with deliberate tones of sarcasm to destroy my esteem throwing facetiously coy remarks to challenge my will outnumbered in unison to quell me into silence
