No to racism, yes to respect

No to racism, yes to respect

Everyone’s rights we have to protect

Not everything is black and white

Every colour matters, diversity is key

Racism is a problem that we all must fight

Now all of you must listen to me

Choose respect over racism

White people are not at supremacism

Discriminating is a terrible crime

We must stop prejudice somehow

It’s a too common paradigm

This must be stopped right NOW

There are more horrible things on Earth

Like climate change, poverty, and death at childbirth

So how, oh how, can we afford to treat

Someone like an inanimate object

We’re all humans, we’re not obsolete

So can you just give everyone equal respect

The people who are discriminated everyday

Have a frightful time trying to find their way

When hurtful comments are lobbed at their back

All due to the colour of their skin

Just for being different, for being black

When they’re just like us, with virtue and sin

We are humans, we depend on each other

So we are everyone’s sister and everyone’s brother

We may be different, but we are still the same

So don’t try to be superior; we must have equality

If you hate black people, that’s just inhumane

No one deserves to receive your calamity

Racism is never born, but taught

In the past, against it people have fought

But the hate still runs deep

It’s not something we should foster

No to racism, out loud we must speak

For out of the good things, prejudice is an imposter

I thought that only black people can be prejudiced

When anyone of any race can received harmful mephitis

This must be stopped, it can’t continue

I can’t believe why we let this go on

We have to do something, me and you

Let’s destroy racism and make it be gone

From the Bible: Love is the fulfilling of the law

But a sight that people dreadfully saw

The murder of Martin Luther King, who sacrificed

When he was speaking for a workers’ strike

But he will always be loved by Christ

Even though black people others still dislike

No to racism; it’s against all belief

All it brings is anger and grief

As Buddha said we are all the same

We’re part of one connected humanity

Let respect be our utmost aim

We must prove haters wrong and remove their insanity

Racism threatens to tear us apart

Physically, mentally, distaste we must outsmart

The Quran teaches love and hope

No matter race, religion or creed

Allah tells us how to cope

Since we are all family in need

But alone, we will fail to fight

Only together, we will have enough might

To put an end to all discrimination

Let’s remove all racism and adversity

For in unity, there is salvation

So let’s beat racism to have peace and prosperity
