Accept! -Part Of The Modern Beatle's Rewrite Series Poem by Ramona Thompson

Rewrite of the Beatle's Help!

Accept!
Why can't everybody?
Accept!
Even just one somebody!
Accept!
Not everyone wants to be like everyone
Accept!

When I look around
So bitter today
All I can see is
Prejudice getting in the way
Oh will these terrible feelings ever be gone?
Why of a true embrace can none ever be assured?
Now if only you would open up your mind
Together I know
We could open so many of these closed doors

Chorus

Accept me if you can
White to brown
Yeah I'd really appreciate
If you came around
Bury your hate deep in the ground
Won't you please, please accept me?

And oh how our lives could be changed in so many ways
If only these wicked natures could
Be vanished in the haze
None would have to ever again
Feel so insecure
I know you too must feel the same
Deep down
Wanna vanish this cruelness we can't ignore

Chorus

When I look around
So bitter today
All I can see is
Prejudice getting in the way
Oh will these terrible feelings ever be gone?
Why of a true embrace can none be assured?
Now if only you would open up your mind
Together I know
We could open so many of these closed doors

Chorus

Accept me!
Accept me!
