Prejudice (a reflection)

Prejudice (a reflection)

Never commit to those who call you weak

For hesitating and not choosing sides,

Or for seeming to turn the other cheek,

While an accuser aggressively chides

And pricks your pride with sharp accusations

Of weakness, faintness or cowardice.

Mull over truth, lies and reputations.

Reflect on the nature of prejudice,

Different opinions, right and wrong;

Paths leading to virtue or villainy;

How those perceived weak, by those perceived strong,

Are crushed and tormented by tyranny,

And then, upon consideration; choose:

Tyrants are aided by those who refuse.
