Bigot
E.S. Conway 1985 (United Kingdom)
Hey there mr Bigot
Seeing with your mind
Perceiving what you wish
Not believing what you find
Seeing is a sense
But eyes don't mean you see
Seeing is believing
But believing isn't free
Costs are paid in stress
A true test of your worth
Battles waged with friend and foe,
Wars fought over earth
Because your eyes are open
But your mind, it does not see
Your minds eye is closed to life
And your life a travesty
