What We Don't Want to Know

Must he hide away forever?

Never seeing human light

Never knowing love and sympathy

Never knowing more than fear

And hate

He is part of this world

Part of this hypocrisy heaven

We preach love and expectance

While we beat back the ones who need it most

With hate

How can we live with it?

Live with our blind fear

Shrinking away from

What we don't know

Or don't want to know

Now he escapes from us

With a face more beautiful

Than the world could possibly see

So they fear it

And hate it
