The Story Behind Different Races By Richie Kharis
THE STORY BEHIND DIFFERENT RACES by Richie Kharis
Many times they act like they are holy sanctimonious
And every day they pray, but still they can not tell the change
Another day comes hate, for them, love is an easy exchange
Yet far away behind their eyes, lies the truth that may be strange
Oh; the story of two beings with no reverence but difference
They swear to hate and kill their conscience and they welcome ignorance
One sees the other as toxic, and the other sees her acerbic
Now we have two enemies that would never welcome amnesties
They vow to kill each other cause they were born in a different nation
They think this big world isn't meant for miscegenation
So they hurt various souls that have different faces
They wish for no other but them having all graces
They fail to realize something pertinent, without wisdom and love they perish, for their lives are not theirs
Death comes in the dark with no warnings and no exceptions
Six feets are buried the bodies they swore not to care
Yet the same ground finds their bodies buried in despair
Different colors, different thoughts, different flaws but one people
Different bodies, different fingers, different structure but all in one
Some may find this to be ugly but the reality is ugly.
The earlier we let go RACISM, the earlier we save our children from dying
For there is no remedy to one nation without love and forgiveness.
