Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover
Don’t judge a book by its cover
lest you miss chapter three
where all things deep and mysterious
appear,
it’s clear
by chapters seven through eleven
that clarity will come later,
you must refrain from judging too soon,
you thought you knew; it’s true,
the cover misled your view,
yet the final pages
reveal the notions you formed
before reading page one
were woefully wrong,
you judged too soon
before you knew
the truth behind the cover.
