Dear Racist


Dear Racist,

Who are you.

To think that you are superior to all.

Just another human being.

I assume.

Let’s be honest with each other

We all hate for something or someone,

But yours is strong and pure.

You disguise the feelings of others

See a black and white world.

Yes, you are free to think and believe whatever you want.

And free to say what you please,

And free to protect yourself.

I see you love this freedom…

As if it was your own.

Don’t get too stingy,

Because this freedom is not only yours.

We all have freedom,

Equal protection under the law,

Fair trials and justice,

And all representative in the office.

But I know this is not true,

Because you abuse your power and freedom.

Use them to take away the rights of others.

You can not fully take the blame,

Was brought up in a corrupted system.

Saw and knew nothing but the crooks--

In our society,

Then and now.

Tell me---

Do think this is a way to live?
