Freedom Should Be Set Free

This world is a melting pot People live in every spot Of this earth where they can be Living happily and free But sometimes freedom isn't free Others can be so nasty With their ideas and issues Causing pain for others who Just want to live in peace without All the anger that comes out Of those who are so racist Being rude and prejudice Not liking when there's a couple Who's sex is the same and double It doesn't matter if there is Two women who like to kiss Or two men who's holding hands Come on people, understand Love is love and doesn't matter What two sexes are together Or the color of our skin Shouldn't let someone begin To judge because it's not right What is the difference-black or white We all share the same emotions So what;s with all the commotion Outside color shouldn't matter We need to find a way to shatter This type of strong feeling That is always stealing The freedom from other races And give them the loving graces That is deserved and so needed Then this world will be completed There is too much hate and violence Taking small steps we can silence And stomp out little by little How others treat and belittle Those who are unique in style Because we are all worthwhile

If we seek to understand the ones who are being racist perhaps we can begin to change their way of thinking. These people were once innocent children. Something went wrong along the path they followed. This poem goes a long way to perhaps help us all understand our own limitations, we all have some form of faulty perception. Great write.

A certain basketball team owner learned about racism the hard way. He should have read this poem before making those asinine comments.
