Racism

Although we are are not born racists Racism has always been around Symptoms are: feelings that you are bound And you cannot turn around I may be treated indifferent, because I am not Caucasian: I may be Indigenous, East Indian, African, Asian or LGBTQ The color of my blood is still red The color of my skin comes from my origin So, how can we blend Orientation, Colour, Creed, and Race? It is By joining our hands, And looking face to face believing we are all equals, Thinking that everything is fair An that God holds us all in his hands Very dear Written by Mintra J.
