Judge Me Not

When you look at me
Do not notice the colour of my skin,
But the size of my heart.
Listen to my voice
And judge me,
Not for my background,
But for the wisdom I bring

Do not look at my clothes
And see someone of a lesser value,
But someone who is equal to you.

Although we may be from different cultures,
Our blood is of the same colour.
And although we may not believe in the same God,
We breathe the same air.

We were born the same and we will die the same.

So do not judge me, because I am the same as you.
