Ism Talk

You hear about it everyday
                              Discrimination in some sector of the nation

                                       It comes in all forms and fashions
                                Placing on people’s lives many sanctions

                          Though you may have fallen victim to the ism fever
                                 Please remember to remain a self believer
  
                                Those who commit these vicious offenses
                                  Are only insecure with their own senses

                                Therefore they exploit our modest gestures
                                       To satisfy their arrogant pleasures

                                              So next time you experience
                                                             Criticism
                                                           Exclusivism
                                                            Ostracism
                                                                   Or
                                                              Racism

                         Remember you can convert them into OPTIMISM
