Discrimination

We are pushed in living 
And believing 
That world has changed 
And liberty is inked with golden page 

Go all over 
And you shall discover 
The practice of apartheid 
Very much strongly held 

Discrimination’s like a snake 
Its teeth in poisoned prejudice, 
Causing ache 

Discrimination, abolished all warmth and spirit 
And returned with a new hate 
Relishing its pain brought 
Never thought of halt 

It is lack of understanding 
That goes on unending 
Whether in advanced countries 
Or countries of poverties 

Color plays important part 
People may not say on face but start 
The use of language in slur manner 
This creates bitter feelings 

When you are in minority 
Or not in majority 
You shall be kept at bay 
From power and have no say 

This leads inequality 
Imbalance in taking decision directly 
Show the intolerance 
And sometimes witness full violence 

Why do you think you're better 
If your culture is not the same? 
Yes, maybe you seem different 
But deep inside all are the same. 

Why do they think they're better? 
If one is black and one is white, 
If one is man and one is woman. 
They are the same, that is their right. 

If one is straight and one is gay, 
They are no different, just the same 
If one is Christian and one is Jew, 
All come from God, we are the same. 

try snd get to know all people, 
And show them what you think and do, 
You'll see how others live their lives. 
When you like them, then they'll like you. 

If one learns to understand 
And respect all points of view, 
Then peace on Earth must surely come 
It is up to you. And you. And you....
