The Remedy of a Narrow Mind
By Novlette Nicole Lee
She says we are different
But we are the same
She says that you’re indecent
She says that you’re lame
But she can never see
Never understand
That all that you can be
Is only a man
A son.a brother.a friend
An uncle.a man.a neighbor
If you can decipher
All the things aside
You can go far
She says you’re not like us
She says you’re always wrong
She says those people you don’t trust
She says that they are weak but we are strong
What is “we“?
Where did we get “we“ from?
Can this be
That you my friend are wrong?
Wait you’re not my friend?
I don't know you
Have we met?
And you’re talking like you know me too.
Look.I don't like you at all
And since you like giving your opinion
I’ll give you my all
To see if we can bring your narrow mind out of oblivion
What is the definite meaning of a person?
Do you know the answer?
No.well this is your first lesson:
If I were to repeat
All the words you said in sequence
Anybody can see you're dense
There is no difference
One heart.one mind
Many character traits
Some mean.some kind
One’s a boy.one’s a girl
Both different
Both the same
You say not to talk to them
They are stupid
They are lame
But you are the stupid one
It is your mind that needs to be tamed
To be ignorant is the worst thing in the world
It causes people to judge with words
Actions.thoughts.feelings.emotions
It clouds your vision
It makes you less entitled to your opinion.
No two people are the same
No two people are the same type of special
And yet some special are shamed
Because of what some people tell
One body one mind
One soul one heart
If you seek then you shall find
What you should have seen from the start
You are still talking your narrow-minded thoughts
Yes.but then I forgot
I thought you would respect others' differences
But then again.maybe not
