Racism

What is racism?

Racism is discrimination;

it is hatred.

Racism breaks apart a nation.

It "...springs from ignorance’."

like a disease.

Like an ugly reality

Racism sticks like grease,

and makes me angry.

Why does racism exist?

We must stop discriminating.

We must stop hating.

We have to come together and be one.

We must stop being ignorant;

we must be the cure to stopping racism

from spreading into our future.

We have to make racism a relic of the past

and let it remain in the past.

We must unstick of racism from our lives,

to frame a new reality.

Racism will not be our future!
