Peek through the crack
in the wall that defends your ignorance.
Let light of knowledge
frighten off your fear.
You think you hate my kind.
You think you know but you don’t.
You build an image to justify your hate
But what you hate
is your own fear
And what you fear
is what you do not know
And what you do not know
is people like me.

He knows me
but doesn’t know he knows me.
He thinks he knows me
but he doesn’t know how I think.
I think he hates me
but he only hates the me he thinks he knows.
I think he hates the fear he feels,
I think I’ll say hello.
I think I need a drink.
