Best Poems Written by Tasia Burns

Ode To Race

I could write about the white man and everything he’s done

or I could write about the black man

and all the victories he’s won

I could write about a person of every stereotype

but thats just a hype

and judgings not right

I could write about racism

and all the civil wars

or I could write about a place where hate is no more

I could write about a place where all individuals

are not solely based on ancestral residuals

No more colors, races, or creeds,

Just helping our neighbors with everything they need

This is the Dream that Dr. King had,

To stop looking at skin color,

would that be so bad,

I could write about how things will always stay the same,

 or I could write to make a difference,

And be the one to start the Change
