Blind Ear

What happens when we stereotype

and demonize people who

are different from us,

that we don't know?

What happens when our fear

of them obliterates any perception

of our own individual or corporate

complicity in the chasm between us?

What happens when religion

is indiscriminately bundled

with politics and economics?

Watch the newspaper.

Read the television.

See the radio.

Listen to the Internet.

This is what happens.
