Prejudice

by Gary R Priester   Feb 10, 2013


I was just a boy
When the question popped in my head
Prejudice was the word that I had just read
It's what a man from the south is!
The history book said
But my father was from the south
And a prejudice word I never heard said
So I asked him why prejudice
Didn't work in his stead?
He had fought in three wars
Seen men cry, die, and beg
With a look in his eyes of pain and dread
He stared right past me and slowly he said
Son never forget
"All Men Bleed Red!"

Inspired by an eye opening moment with my Dad
