The Art of Racism

To live through the eyes of someone color blind To walk those steps where the superior closes the blinds To be shut out and ignored To be forgotten and bored A life without color creates a world of black and white Think hard, with all your might Look around and feel the sounds as the world we know turns around Schools divided between the groups Doors, fountains, and stair cases alike. Feel as these signs drown Out all open minded thoughts and make you think in loops. Hatred and frustration flood your veins As the level of ignorance you contain amplifies in your brains Public speakings and marches combine Inferiority is attempted to be confined Restricted and whipped into place Tree branches begin to hang low from the weight Night becomes day as our education drifts away happiness is replaced With this serious look of dismay Abolition movements and black top hats Sharecroppers and landlords Nothings changed, history repeats itself but this is a continuation Working on hands and knees, searching for food with empty bellies New laws to repress, Wasn't this a reconstruction? What exactly was the destruction? The roots set in place were set deep, our foundation is not cracked so why try to leap?
