A Poem Written by a 10 year-old girl

What a touching tribute...hard to believe that it was written by a ten year old!

THERE ARE NONE SO BLIND&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp

By Natasha H.



Bigotry is when we blame

An ethnic group for our shame;&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp

To point our fingers and assume&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp

Leads invariably to doom.



When tragedy comes into view,&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp

Don't become the terrorist too;

The sacrificial lambs accused&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp

Don't deserve to be abused.



Surely we must care for all

Or surely everyone will fall;

No future more will be our fate&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp

If foreigners we treat with hate.



To blame the Arabs or the Jews&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp

Will only cost our lives in dues;

Cause all who label ethnic groups&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp

Become some brand new Hitler's dupes.



To find out whose responsible&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp

Look inside you if that's possible;

For your own failure and inaction&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp

May be the real cause of all reactions.



When we fail to clean our house,

We can't go out and blame some mouse;

When we let DEMOCRACY die,

We can kiss all hopes and dreams good-bye.
