Some people are just ignorant their souls bereft of light <br />On others they cast aspersions and see it as their right <br />On Nationality and colour to draw the racial line <br />Like this person not one of us and this one suits us fine. <br /> <br />By racist politicians and biased journalists these people are led <br />And amongst like minded people their phobias they spread <br />And they vote for the hard hearted those who best serve their cause <br />Those who cause hardship to many by implementing partial laws. <br /> <br />Some people are just ignorant and to them ignorance is bliss <br />What we do unto others we do unto ourselves that point they seem to miss <br />And many who are racist even have the cheek to say <br />That they are quite fair minded and believe in fair play. <br /> <br />Some people are just ignorant and difference they fear <br />Your culture is different to ours we do not want you here <br />And four decades back when I was young it seems sad to recall <br />That we were nearer in those days to a 'fair go for all'.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/some-people-are-just-ignorant/
