Fighting discrimination


Look how nonchalantly thay've cast me out

and did so without hesitation or thought

as if being white makes them superior

and the rest of us, to them, are inferior.

Why do they seem to discriminate us always?

Why is it that, as their equals, we have no place?

Why do they make sure to insult us at every chance they get?

And when we ask them to stop, they say we dont even have the right to fret.

Why is it that they dont even make an attempt

to stop treating us with disgust and contempt?

Who are they to define who we should be

What gives them the right not to let us be free.

Look at how easily thay have cast us out

Like we don't deserve to stand tall and proud.

But we won't let this carry on,

we shall not remain their puppets and pawns.

We shall not be at the mercy of people as these,

who have no regard for values of humanity and peace.

Once we join hands, we will be a massive force

and will march forward to obliterate this ideology they endorse.

They have oppressed us for so long but we aren't theirs to command.

They shall no longer continue to ignore us and our demands!
