The Bigotry That Remains, Part Ii
...But there exists a much broader hate,
half the species, you see, do not rate.
I’m talking, of course, about the men,
how we’re seen as less next to women,
that our basic masculinity
is portrayed as criminality,
save for working women on the rise,
it’s okay for girls to act like...

The Bigotry That Remains, Part I
There are those in our society
who scream about fighting bigotry,
claim that we hate people with dark skin,
when you fired for insulting them,
claim that our women fear for their lives,
when the female sex is lionized,
claim that no one cares about the poor,
but nowhere else do the...

Premium Member Literacy Beyond the Bigotry of Classrooms
Even though bent neck on the book
gives a better and worthy outlook
knowledge without virtues and principles
Is a knife used constantly against humanity and life.

School itself gives mentally sound stability
but to overcome challenges, social molding gives the ability.
It’s beyond the bigotry of classrooms
rather, a system which...

Premium Member Bigotry
Bigotry's ubiquitous;
its roots entangled in time.
And as intolerance grows,
anxieties start to climb.

Using angry, hurtful rants;
racists verbalize their fears.
And sneer, as innocence cries;
unmoved by the flow of tears.

Strong minds recruit weaker minds;
offering friendship as bait.
And partial truths, target youth;
while preaching doctrines of hate.

Bullies quickly become trapped;
in...

Religious Bigotry
In one spiritual being we do agree
Under varied names we called thee
From different images they were mold
How they came to be varies when told

Religion unites people of same beliefs
Some are powerful enough to sink ships
Some struggle to put their name across
Others use violence to justify...

Plastic Bag Prejudice and Bigotry
PLASTIC   BAG  PREJUDICE  AND   BIGOTRY

What’s that over there?
Don’t bother, it’s just another of those goddamned plastic bags,
Just a plastic bag, a thin polythene bag, 
Transparent, cheap, ugly:  seen one seen ‘em all  -
If I see one comin’...

Psalm of the Heretics Saved

Oh, God!
You’ve taken my hands;
the blood spills onto the heathen soil of my birth!
The jaguar cannot help me.
The mighty pyramid rising past the trees
is a pride you’ve turned to shame.
You sent your messengers on canvass wings 
and they descended from the...

Premium Member OF AN OXYMORONIC OLIGARCHY
An immigrant nation 
Imprisoning immigrants 
Not equally born or not born
Of its natives and considered
Criminals is indeed oxymoronic 
In a country founded by immigrants
Thru usurping and uprooting indigenous
People of their bordered lands
And nearly extincting them
Via hue-skin oppression
In a supposedly new found nation
Baptized with the the...

Premium Member Be Fearless To Fight the Right Fights
Be not afraid
To fight the right fights
The hate, the hatred
To regain your rights
To end bigotry, racism
Fascism and nepotism.

Be brave
Like a heroic slave
Who is not afraid
To be whipped, raped
By an inhuman master
By a greedy slave owner.

Be not afraid
To fight for the weak
The underprivileged
Every single week
Every time
They’re...

Premium Member Racism Forgotten
Prejudice within a heart
Colors all the world in hues
Of melancholy and haunting
Darkness in clouds of mourning
Laughter stilled by a bigot’s zeal

Racism within the soul
Colors all the world in shadows
Of dread, despair, disgrace
All the feelings of disillusionment
Hope silenced by discrimination

Bias within the one who knows
Colors blind...

No To War, No To Nukes
No discrimination, no greed, no war!
In unity and peace, let us stand tall,
Nations, come together, heal the scar,
With love and compassion, we'll break the fall.

Scars of the past, not for vengeance to cling,
But as precious lessons, let's hold them tight,
War, a resolve that wrath will...

I can Breathe

How many time have my black brothers and
Sisters divided theirs tears Into Sections
With each drop, with each snuffle
With each tissue:  we thread:  as we bled to death

The chanting will echoed, the violent will rise

The Party of Racism
There’s a political party
that’s just obsessed with race,
all their power is built on it,
it’s rather a disgrace.
It started centuries ago
defending slavery,
campaigning for long decades to
keep blacks as property.
And when some other people said,
“Maybe this isn’t right,”
this party declared civil war,
began a bitter fight
that lasted four...
