Terror

You see her covered
And back away
Leaving her with her black robe

She could be kind
Be the nicest person on Earth
But you don't see that

She could be smart
Be the modern Einstein
But you don't know that

She could be beautiful
Be the one you've been looking for
But she's covered

To you she is a danger
Waiting to explode
You took away her kindness
Stripped her of her genius
Scared away her beauty
Then left her naked
Shivering in you terror!
