wall of shame

I`m not racist.....but
words that:
inflame.
words that:
causes pain.
words that rises anger inside-
and all that is left is,
shame.

deluded are those,
who think it means nothing-
and saying those words
doesn't hurt one who looks different-
but that some-one is the same inside-
 as you and me.

because;
they might have a different outlook
because;
they might have a different view
does it mean can we look down on them?
because;
we are dealt a better hand-
does it mean we are better than them?

-if we are cut, don`t we all bleed?

living life in blinded fear,
 you try to justify your words
but- 
those words,
just condemn.

behind your patriotism lurks the dark,
and the darkness swallows the rainbow.
your ears, hear words -
they only want to hear.
 and monocolour, the only colour- 
your eyes want to see.
 the fact`s clouds your single mind
and you selfishly want your idea of a utopian world.
It's a place where people are judged on their
physical characteristics-
and not their mental ideology.
a place that has no trespassing if your
red, yellow, black or brown.

so let us erect a wall
a wall that blocks out reality
a wall that silently say`s
"this wall is built upon hate and ignorance"
in a place that says "you're not as good as me
 so you're not welcomed"
a place that judges colour superiority
and only those that win can come in.
you say that wall is to protect us from them
but it protects who from what?
that's the big million dollar question
