Race
Racial hypocrisy rages hidden quietly behind smiles and well scripted chat. Listening
for the angry sounds of discord, waiting to ignite and explode.
What emerges is the horror of true self, the raw unbridled feelings of narrow-
mindedness.
White against black, black against yellow and yellow against red.
Why must we reinforce hate into each generations head? Aliens to truth we each
abide with the thought that our kind is superior to the rest.
The heresy of such hypocrisy of this planetary audience is that we each are to
blame for the lack of change.
If we learn to live and except our fellow man and stop judging by the color of our
neighbors face, then and only then may we acquire the title “The Human Race”!
