Notes About The Poem

This writing is an reflection of (A Secret) that I written back in high school in 1978. (It Is No Secret) was written in 2008, is one man's's perspective view 30 years later of the world and this country's issues on racism.

It Is No Secret

It is no secret!
That this country is still racist,
White, Black, Yellow, Brown and Red.
When all we see is colored faces! 
For most our ignorance’s,
conjure illusions were not racist.
While some masquerade
 in an attempt to misguide!
Some parade to protest
with riot in disguise! 
Every day! Every day! Every day!
We display racism toward others, 
we deem difference than,
by how we think, 
transferring thoughts into behavior.
Racism is everywhere! 
It is at work, 
it is at school, 
it is on TV,
and all over the news. 
It is podcast on the radio
and on social media too!
It is all around us,
it surrounds us!
We project around with no realization, 
that were all racist, 
simply by our own fears, 
emotions, and actions. 
As stereotypical individuals, 
whose attitude reflects it, 
 were just too judgmental 
of others to recognize it.
Our own mystery 
is no secret,
 that we are racist too!
