XENOPHOBIA

XENOPHOBIA

The title of this poem…
Is a word not widely known.
Though billions suffer from it…
As history has shown.

This condition started many wars…
And causes murder on our streets.
It’s why some people become prejudice…
Or sit in separate seats.

This condition sometimes causes us…
To misinterpret one another.
I believe it’s why so many bombs are made…
And why we persecute each other.

If only we would realize…
In some ways we’re all the same.
It may become more difficult…
To treat others so lame.

We shouldn’t have the attitude…
I wouldn’t want to be or know ya.
Just because we suffer…
From a thing like xenophobia.
