TOLERANCE!!!
TOLERANCE!!!
TOLERANCE!!!
Sustaining scorn -
It's occurring each day,
While numerous who contribute
Would be the first to state,
"Try not to call me a narrow minded person.
I'm progressive as anyone might imagine.
It's simply that I don't accept
In a blended society."
So profoundly has this toxic substance spread.
The roots have for quite some time been covered.
In any case, in a little kid's fruitful personality
A few seeds will in any case be conveyed.
On the off chance that they have heard some individual
Stand up with awesome hatred
About a shading or a race,
At that point contempt will mature.
It later will prosper
On the off chance that nobody meddles.
Racial slurs and memorials
Will regularly show up.
There is an old Indian citation,
One that unmistakably talks.
"Try not to judge a man 'til you have strolled
In his sandals numerous weeks."
There is no individual living today
Who wouldn't some place be an untouchable.
On the off chance that everybody would simply recall that,
We may have tranquility finally.
