At an early age <br />hatred is taught to children <br />by bad parenting. <br /> <br />Children can respect <br />all races and religions <br />when parents teach love. <br /> <br />Children in the park <br />play together peacefully <br />where race matters not. <br /> <br />Children learn to hate <br />by observing their elders <br />actions not their words. <br /> <br />The ten commandments <br />are taught to Jews and Christians <br />but both forget them. <br /> <br />We teach our youngsters <br />'Peace on earth, goodwill to men' <br />but practice hatred. <br /> <br />Two seats on the bus. <br />I sit next to the black man. <br />I am prejudiced. <br /> <br />I am prejudiced <br />'cause I choose on the basis <br />of color of skin. <br /> <br />In a perfect world <br />we would see only people <br />not color of skin.<br /><br />LORETTA BACON<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/prejudice-haiku/
