PREJUDICE

A childs laugh tinkles through the room
the happy steps echoing through the halls
as she dances gaily....happy in her safety
rejoicing in the love that envelopes her
and you watch�.

waiting for the right moment
looking for the opening
where you can rip her heart out
and tell her the illusion is over
the hate wins...the fear conquers.

and weeping
her bleeding heart in your hand
you steel yourself
as her life slips through your fingers
her happiness crushed between your hands
�its life baby�

you tell her .....as she vainishes
slowly before your eyes,
and as you blink through your tears
the child is gone.....replaced by fear
and another monster is born

created by hate...
wrapped gaily in smiles
and all you can do is watch
drowning in your tears
