Hair

Before you judge a book by its cover
just know that person is like no other
we stereotype people based on their face race weight or colour,
yet behind that hair little do we know they have a really sick mother,
It pains me to see that in today's world, it's okay
To make an assumption, based on what you see in one day,
You see that girl with her “emo” hair
you say, this girl is far beyond repair
How does that you even compare
you preach tender loving care
but when it comes down to it
you’ll judge that girl with that emo hair
faster than you can say social warfare
Now don't get me wrong i'm not saying all judgement is bad
In modern society, it could stop you from ending up in a body bag
But simply by looking at someone's hair feature
you don't have the right to become their preacher
