To kill a mocking bird
With bloody stones
And Hurtful words
With racists
Faces
Ruling out
All the good
For they don't count
As the ones
Of "higher class"
When really
They're the ones
who grasp
The ways of kindness
Yet ruled by fear
Trying hard
to shed a tear
For every one
Who walks us by
For all who cared
For all who tried
Who never truly
Turned their eyes
When they killed
The mockingbirds
