Name & A Face

Maybe I really do
Want to believe
That there's good in everyone
That there's some good in you, too
That is what helps me see through
What others can't get beyond
When looks mean everything to some
How shallow can a person be
When they can't go past
What they see?
I never want to be
Someone who can't see
What is truly
Under the surface
Sit in the dark
Listen to someone
Without looking at their face
Everyone is more
Than a name and a face
Every birth means more
Than a time and a place
We're all part of this rat race
