Dear Racist

You have your roots forgotten Your perception's now rotten Noticing oh so sudden That brother's a great burden No love for brother or sis With contempt at them you hiss And the sharpest point you miss That racism can't bring bliss People can be blue, black, white I can name colours all night But do remember alright Only yourself you do fight Because we all are on par And you're left behind so far Still your scars with spite you mar Frowning at those black as tar With the same hands, all God made Watch as you do colours grade Without love, away you'll fade For we belong under one shade
