The colour of your skin should not matter,
Racism should have stopped when the world was flatter.
Black or white, yellow or blue,
Your colour should make no difference to you.
If you were to drown and your only hope,
Was the colour of the person holding the rope.
Would you lose your life just out of spite,
Or accept that rope and see them right.
You read my poem you treat me the same,
If I told you my colour would you read it again,
Why can't we all live together in peace,
Why can't all this racism just Cease,
On a bed you are dying
From a gene that you lack,
Your only hope is a man from Iraq
Would you tell him to leave with hate in your eye,
Or ask him to save you, rather than die.
Our world is so sick
From violence and hate,
From the most advanced species,I think it's too late,
remember that racism is not just from the white,
Realise that and we have less of a fight.

- Comment from author about the poem: Racism is a terrible virus that eats away at our society. But it's not just from white people and the sooner that is recognised the sooner we can move forward. People are scared to comment on anything and that is the problem we can't talk to each other

Racism is a tool used by the elite to perpetuate their existence . Look at our government today with it's lies and inuendos that fan the embers of hate to distract the attention from the real agendas they seek . Total domination of the masses by a few people who decide everything . In the concentration camps of the Nazi regime everyone wore the same clothes , ate the same food , did as told . There were disidants , scientists , educators , politicians , doctors , police along with the Gypsies , homosexuals , Jews , Christians , Muslims , disabled , old , young , sick , both physically and mentally , and anyone who couldn't work or suitable for bearing children .
Thank you
Very good write, racism is rife in this world and it should not bee like that. in my eyes everybody should be treated with respect no matter what race, gender,religion or sexuality.
Thank you buddy
