Beneath the surface, hidden yet clear,
Lies the weight of centuries, a burden we bear.
Through eyes of bias, through hearts of steel,
Prejudice lingers, a wound slow to heal.

Shadows of history cast long and wide,
In whispers and glances, in silence we hide.
The color of skin, the faith we hold dear,
Become walls of division, sowing seeds of fear.

In every smile, a judgment concealed,
In every handshake, a story revealed.
Can we bridge the gap, can we break the chains,
And find in our hearts the love that remains?

Let us rise above the hatred and scorn,
Embrace our differences, a new world born.
For in unity, our strength we find,
Shattering the chains of a prejudiced mind.
