Racism Readdressed
By Franklin Price

Racism as we know it
Or as we're made to see
Not the way it is presented
Not the way that it should be
History tells the story
If we take the time to look
Racism is all relative
To the one who writes the book
In the end it's not racism
But in each one's attitude
Could be anyone or anybody
The viewer or the viewed
Poor people hate the rich ones
The rich the other way
Religions hate each other
We see that proven every day
Black and white are different
When they're seen by you and me
Until we look past color
Shades of gray are all we'll see
If you look within yourself
There's someone you disdain
May not be another race
Yet those thoughts in you remain
It's the nature of humanity
To dislike those not the same
Minority or majority
That's how we play the game
Until we see no difference
Are okay with everyone
Racism will be with us
Until our days are done
