Oh God James Wrote a Poem About Racism. How Minor?
Hearts revel to the same drum
Blood forever runs red
Yet equality is dead
Disgusted eyes plague black people
Whisper in their corners when I’m not around
Correct my accent wishing my soul didn’t dance
Hips halt in revulsion when the bass and lyrics sound
Disgusted eyes plague white people
Loudly insulting them from depths of a crowd
Make sport of their formality wishing they could feel the beat
Hips halt in revulsion when the guitar and banjo are played allowed
In time intangible ropes have enslaved our inner mind
Unconscious racism is even vivid to the eyes of the blind
Rationalize it if you please but correction is of need
Need of unification,
Need of love,
Need of the word concede
Concede because all have suffered enough
ALL……………………………………………………..
Conquer the minds unconscious barricade, and accepts your neighbor. For she/he might be
the greatest fortune one may find.
Love and peace: james
