Racism Poems | Examples of Racism Poetry

The trees ache with a pain only those who have witnessed true horror The swinging rope moping for it had been turned to a killer The threads unravelling trying to escape A maze with no end Running, running, running Away Yet still can't escape its fate A fallen leaf a tear of the tree Weeping for a...

'Just get over it' No we still haven't received reparations And they are long overdue Why would we get over it When you prance around wearing bags made of our skin Sitting your privileged self's on chairs oh so familiar The fabric - our skin But you'll never know You'll never care Because of your ignorance Because what you...

Let them eat cake But with no hands And a mouth sewn shut Why us Why must we suffer with crumbs And be grateful To be grateful when slavery ended When in fact it was they who started it To feed us poison instead of the antidote Then feign confusion to why it didn't work The world sees you as a victim And...

A black girls stance on self love Is one not often understood One that take years of healing One that understands the process of feeling Because in a world that shoves hate down our throat You can't be surprised when we swallow the bare minimum The relationship between a black girl and herself Is one not...

White privilege The ability to exist Without fear The ability to walk down the streets And not jump at every siren To not calculate every move And overthink every word Because in out world Our existence gets us killed And in your world a red carpet is rolled at your feet Your privilege ignites your ignorance And in a world where all...

Power equals currency In a world that actively yearns for it The more you have the more you are worshiped And with worship becomes freedom Where inequality is something they abuse And power is the excuse they use as a campaign To bully the people that they blame To start an agenda of hate for the only personal gain The same...

When the mind slowly decays It doesn’t just affect the mind It affects the body, the spirit, the soul The spiritual horror of psychological torture Is how you treated black people The way you penetrated our minds with accusations of inferiority Treating us less than animals Less than the dirt on your shoes Generation after generation You have tortured my people Psychological...

Immortal mind, my ghost follows my every move. Intercepted thoughts, clearheaded internal function. Machines roam this world, time of the metal mind, loss of human conscience, Elon Musk taking over the world! Political confusion, MAGA intrusion, January 6th. Hate your neighbor! Love your enemy! Donald Trump! Constitution is the thing of the past, lock her up!! No excuse given, just pure ignorance,...
