Discrimination


One ugly has divided the world Separating friends from one another Causing brothers to go against each other Everywhere, eyes are judging others Different skin colors and hair textures Why should any of it matter? They are just appearances Things that we can only see with our eyes Beneath it all, we are all the same Human beings with the same feelings and emotions We’re different, yet the same But one word has corrupted our minds We believe our own brothers are our enemies Dangerous threats Menaces to society None of it is true, though we believe it to be What ever happened to the thought of living in peace? In a place where everyone could be together Regardless of the color of their skin Learning to accept others for who they are If we continue to think negatively The world will never change
