words can hurt

Words can hurt
Black and white are in a fight
But no one seems to find the light
Don't climb the ladder
Tearing down other for you to rise
The generation’s are being racist
Someone needs to stop the latest
Words can hurt 
2 words can equal ten tears
it's been going on for all these years
Fill a bucket 
Don't just chuck it 
Words can hurt
More than a shove 
Someone please just show some love
The anger is rising just like the temperatures
Please just someone be mature 
Have racism exist no more 
Words can hurt 
Don't just blurt
