Gareth Bryant Writes

I’m from the Hood, with a heart of Gold. I’ve never been rich, but never been sold.

I’m scruffy, like a pad of Brillo. My skin, thick as an Armadillo.

But, my touch is as soft as Clouds. My voice utters only sweet-sounds.

So, don’t judge me, just because of my surface. If all you see is color, your opinion is worthless.

Don’t be blinded, by society’s portrayal of of purpose. Dig deep inside a person, to discover their true virtue.

Don’t treat others like they’re a bunch of Clowns at a Circus. Never forget to treat others as you’d want them to treat you.

I hope that you don’t mind, I’m just venting a lil’-bit. I just get tired of people judging others without merit.
