Discrimination

by collinwatts

Be this your occupation

Or unholy mutilation

We walk the earth in unity

United in our scrutiny

By the color of our skin

In the name of our lord

We turn even on kin

Around necks we wrap the cord

For beliefs that we rob

Over dead bodies we sob

realization of a cruel society

blinded in religious piety
