This Should Stop

I maybe one But I hate it now The gift that I get That was suppose to be mine forever Now it seems that I do not want it no more Cruelty will never die Among us human We are all living In a world that we do not deserve Racism is controlling us It is like something We all depend on I might be black I might be white We all deserve To be treated in the same manner We are all human In our veins all runs red blood... ...and racism should be Out of question It is not fair To lose what's truly yours And to gain what Do not belong to you All because you have no choice This Should Stop!!!

Absolutely, racism should stop. However as long as there is fear on this planet there will be those who will want to control others. And nobody is more scared than white folks who are the minority on the planet so they have to control, control, control. Its totally sick and you've written an outstanding poem here, Shirley!! Under the "Form" you can always put Free Verse rather than "I don't know" because that way more folks will get to see your writes ... smile
