Colors of Racism

The Colors of Racism

 

What is the problem?

The problem with this world?

Why does it matter?

The color of our skin?

 

Does one choose this path?

Do they choose to be cruel and judgmental?

White, brown, black, and mixed

One can not choose their color

You are born with it.

 

Why can't people understand?

Understand that we're all the same?

We as people have no differences

Yet the color of our skin,

It changes everything.

 

The Colors of Racism;

It tells a “white” person,

They can not walk out without being told,

They're greedy and rich.

 

The Colors of Racism;

It tells a “brown” person,

They can not walk out being told,

To go back where they came from.

 

The Colors of Racism;

It tells a “black” person,

They can not walk out without being told,

They will receive the looks of disgrace,

   they will be threatened,

By lynching or enslaved once again

 

 The Colors of Racism;

It tells a “mixed” person,

They can not walk out without being told,

They must choose a side.

 

The Colors of Racism;

It should be told,

It can go away,

Stop separating our world,

We have no use for you,

Never have, never will.

 

The Colors of Racism;

Rest In Peace,

Because our world, our generation

  will shut you down

We will never need you

You shall become extinct

As we arise against you.

 

Galatians 3:28

There is neither Jew nor Greek,

there is neither slave nor free man,

there is neither male nor female;

for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

 

Luke: 6:37-38 

     Do not judge, and you will not be judge

 Do not condemn, and you will not be

condemned. Forgive, and you will be

forgiven.  Give, and it will be given to

you. A good measure, pressed do

 shaken together and running over, will be

poured into your lap. For with the measure

 you use, it will be measured to you.
