Racism
You are loathed
Since you were cursed
While you destroy the gains,
we have made
Taking us back to stone age
A verse that witnessed unprecedented slavery
An act which placed a yoke of hardship on our generation
And viewed human beings as a commodity
You are a cancer
Since you are resistant to treatment
And seek to wage bad blood amongst us
We share the same number of senses
The component in our veins is similar
We can accomplish tasks effectively
Where do you get your motivations?
Catcalls are made to some individuals
Others are described in demeaning words
As they continuously get compared to animals
Many are alienated
The only difference we bear is the pigmentation
You are a murderer
Sadly, you have killed many spirits
And dampened many people
Majority break down in tears
For they know it is not their decision
To be born in that manner
The strong have turned a deaf ear to your antics
And capitalize on your mockery to prove you wrong
The weak have given up
You are a monster
Seeking to devour us
Slaying you is the only way
Safeguarding our space is our strength
For you pollute and poison minds
While encouraging extremism
A dangerous beast than you
Likely to swallow us all
We have no other way
But fighting you is inevitable!
