Don’t Judge Me

Don’t judge me by the color of my skin
Take a look inside, see what’s within.

Don’t judge me by my name
Or the place from which I came.

Don’t judge me for my sexual choice
Instead, just listen to my voice.

Don’t judge me by my sense of style
First, let’s sit and talk awhile.

Look at me; there’s more to see.
Just take time to learn about me.

For all of us, it’s good exercise
Take the time; open ears and eyes.

We will learn what’s really true
You about me; me about you.
