Look Beneath!


Look beneath, look deep inside,
Forget the outer cover that's on show!
Because all that is, is camouflage,
Where hatred and anger grow!
Why do people make judgments?
And why do they hurt and maim?
What on earth do they do it for!
And tell me, what is their aim?

People should look to the inside,
And not to the outer skin!
Because the goodness of the person,
Comes from deep within!
You see many a different parcel,
With fancy paper and bows!
But until that package is open,
What's inside, no-one knows...

The outer packaging may be pretty,
Or it may even be a disgrace,
But the sweetness that's within
Will put a smile on many a face!
But as you peruse the parcels,
Will you always go for the look?
Because if it's ugly and you turn away!
Then you're judging the cover of a book!

The cover of a book's not reliable,
There's no telling what's inside,
For everyone carry their own sorry war,
And at times will run and hide!
Hide from the hurt of the world,
And shy away from the pain,
And all because people the world over,
Judge the cover of that book once again!

Take away that cover and look!
See what it is you will see!
You will see what's inside of 'you!'
Is the same as what's inside of 'me'!
We are all different, but all the same,
The outside is just a different hue!
Remove that package and see...
You are me, and I am you!

Don't you judge the cover of a book today!
Look to the heart, the mind, the person!
It's not about colour, religion, or gender...
It's about the heart, the mind and the soul...
It's about respect, caring, compassion
and understanding!

...Live and let live...

...Smile and the world smiles back...

...Hate and you hate alone...
