Racism

Let the world know
Each and every one of us
Truly deserves to be
Shined on equally.

Someone should gather
The aid of many to rescue
Others from the
Palms of hate.

Racism is nothing but
A hatred that has grown out of
Control. Black and white
Is a great colour in paint
So what's so different about
Men and women that are black and white.

A child is killed because he is black
Next a white will die from revenge
Death will be all around before love can do anything.

Can we stop racism, death, and hate?
Remember hate just leads to death and leads
Everyone to war before you know it.
A child is crying harder and harder
Tears overwhelm his eyes. His mom's life is
Ending. An innocent has paid for the stupidity of hate.

Help stop all hate and death.
Anyone who cares will help but only a few
Really care. We need more people to
Make a difference.
Only you can stop the
Negativity between races and cultures.
You make a difference.
