recorded reading
You see them on the underground,
You view them on the street,
You watch them in the office
And observe the ones you meet.
You spot them in the supermarket,
In the church or at the bank.
They’re even at the filling station
Filling up their tank.
You scrutinise their clothing,
Think: “Are they young or old?”
You listen to their accents –
And take in what you behold.
But, being human, as we are
Just what do think we do?
We put them into categories
Just like animals in a zoo.
We do not even know them,
Yet we class them into “type”.
Our minds give them a label.
Do you think that this is right?
Humans pass their judgement
By what they think and see,
But, beware of judging others –
For they’re judging you and me.
