Book Cover & Preview Text
Please use this poem as the free preview for the book Prejudice Have you a prejudice deep in your heart, Which you are reluctant to share? A prejudice hard to admit to yourself, If you would but only dare? The evil of prejudice isn’t confined To folks living ages ago, But surfaces here with those who are near, Though its face we’re reluctant to show. The evil of prejudice issues from pride In an unwilling spirit to share Those privileges meant to be given to all By the God whose essence is care. Prejudice takes others’ freedoms away, And raises up a wall, Establishing exclusiveness From those on whom it falls. Then open your heart, encircling those Who stand on the sidelines and wait, It just may be, by including them You’ll arrive at heaven’s gate. Sandra A. Haynes
