Let's All Stomp Out Racism

We have to turn the hateful tables
No more hurtful vicious labels
On others, it is so wrong
To judge others who belong
In our society and just can't
Stand anymore racist rants
Putting names on people who
Want to live in peace and do
Not deserve the disrespect
Every day they seem to get
We are one big world and nation
Why is there still separation
Putting people into groups
We need to stop this insane loop
Circling back to days when there
Was separation everywhere
The future needs to be more
We can even up the score
If we join together and 
Take someone different by the hand
Saying you can be a friend
Hand in hand we can begin
To erase the kind of place
Full of sorrow and disgrace
That should never have begun
Let's put hatred on the run
