Mixed Creations

We are but mixed creations 

needing no abbreviations 

we all form some connection 

but often there is a misconception. 

 

What is color, but a hue 

and racist words, nothing new 

where does it say, one is right 

Why does it bring you so much delight? 

 

Not one of us is just one thing, 

of heritage, that runs in our veins 

No matter who and their skin 

We are human, we all have sin. 

 

Why persecute one another 

why should one, hate the other 

sure, there is good and bad 

and to be different, we should be glad. 

 

This is a world, in desolation, 

cursed, for its own creation 

could not we love, or live in peace 

Or shall we watch the hate increase?
