Racism

Racists are not born, they are created
by those who don’t care, about how to be fair
as racism is the treatment, of those who are seen as inferior
not excepting who you are, for them to feel superior

Racists see something wrong when they look at you
as they think what a freak, I am going to abuse you
because of your skin color, looks or religious assertion
as their racial prejudice, is all about discrimination

Racists like to manipulate, by using their power
always wanting to torment, with a physical deployment
and they try to punctuate, to make you cower
so they can enforce there hate, so they can dominate

Racists like to humiliate, to make you feel sower
so they can control you, with their bullying enforcement
and they like to infuriate, to make you a bower
for their superiority, to make you feel irrelevant

Racists don’t understand, that we all have the same DNA
so they should try and reflect, that we all deserve respect
as all life is different, always striving to be excellent
for all life to equal, and not willing to be consequential
