The lineage of discrimination


The hatred, it's untamed and pervasive!

It's stronger than the discrimination

We face, because it's invasive.

You and I feel it in every bone in our body-

And in our souls,

But if only somebody.

 

Could stop all these malicious preconceptions,

Then only maybe!

There wouldn't be any objections.

Time is running out and we need to act,

Because these lands have become ours.

My revelation is the true fact.

 

We can't expect the world,

to be immaculate;

Because life is that inaccurate.

Our difference should be a celebration upon humanity

Rather than insults,

filled with intense insanity!

 

I am bilingual and you are biracial

And nevertheless-

We're worth the same as any other intellectual.

We are different, yes we are

Our accents and hair break us apart,

But our stereotypes are far more bizarre.
