The Most Serious Violation of Human Rights

He died Today
I've been praying for so long
Days and weeks, months and years 
At last he died 

I run, I jump, I shout, I Scream 
Today I celebrate my freedom, 
Freedom from bondage and pain 
Friend or foe? I am not sure
Whatever am I to call him
But today I don't care 
I am here to bury him

Come one, come all 
Let's gather here today 
Because here in lies his remains 
The remains of Rascism
The most serious violation of Human rights 

Why did he tend to Judge me? 
Was it because of my race?
Oh wait, was it my face? 
Or that I came from a different place?
Oh maybe it was my gender
That was a total offender

Discrimination is wrong 
So today it should be gone 
Heed to the calls of the Human Rights commission 
Let it be a mission 
Live as a United Nation

Rascism and Hate Speech,
Dicrimination and Xenophobia 
Intolerance and tribilism 
Let's bury all Today

Goodbye Rascism, bury deep
I say this without a weep
