Racism

Racism Where are the war graves of the 350 thousand soldiers? Who fought and died for our wars? Most of them were black or Indians. No neat war graves for them, and the racism has not changed since the wars of our making. The nearest we can come to honour them are names written In a ledger. I think there is a racist in every white man’s heart this often Because the school system was racist, telling of white men’s Exploits in India or Africa telling us we brought civilization and To countries that already had an ancient past. Oh, you wretched white man, when are searching your heart And free yourself of the racist mentality.
