Poems by Eric Cockrell : 1735 / 2802
Prejudice!
prejudice...
applied ignorance,
often worn under the mask
of religious fanaticism...
spurred on by fear,
often disguised as patriotism...
the sickness, the disease,
that elevates the self
to a higher plane....
the blindness that refuses
to see the likeness in the mirror...
prejudice....
no excuse!
