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!
