Some In Their Thinking Poem by Francis Duggan

I have lived in many places since i left Millstreet
And people of different races and cultures i have worked with and did meet
And though different from me in their beliefs and thinking i found them to be okay
Take them as you find them as the wise one did say
That everyone is kind in their own way i have come to realize
But that in itself should not be a surprise
Our suspicion of those to us different based on the media of fear
You should not judge people by what of them you hear
The vile feelings of racism and xenophobia are what we do not need
Since red is our blood we are of similar seed
No such a thing as a superior race not to me anyway
Do not expect respect from others if respect to them you do not pay
Some in their thinking do seem rather small
Since they do not believe on a fair go for all.
