Racism Is Contagious

I don't understand the basis How are people rude and racist Putting their hate on display Every moment of the day Someone shouts a mean remark Leaving a cloud so deeply dark Over a person who can't Fathom why these obscene rants Are used against them all the time When did hatred of this kind Become an everyday occurance We need some hope and assurance This wont last for very long We all need to right this wrong It is not O.K. to be This discrimanatory Against others you don't know Because their heritage shows Skin color and clothes they wear Shouldn't make them live in fear Language barriers shouldn't play How they're spoken to in ways That's loaded with much offense It doesn't make any sense We are all humans and try To live our days, getting by Like so many others do Come on people get a clue It needs to stop and right now There has to be a way somehow To open everybody's eyes That the vicious hateful lies They are spreading is contagious It's becoming so outrageous How humanity has lost All its senses, it has cost This world to become so violent Lets not keep our voices silent Raise them up and start a pact To stop any racist act That you see in front of you It is the right thing to do
