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.
