Racism

RACISM

I'm a black

You are a white

The color doesn't really matter

You are rich

I'm poor

The money doesn't really matter

Human lives really matters most

I can make a difference

I can make a change

Until the philosophy

Which hold one race

Superior and the other inferior

Is finally and permanently abolished

You can make a difference

You can make a change

Until stereotyping and prejudice are

No more, together

We can make a difference

We can make a change

Let change the system

And tolerate each other's view

Irrespective of the color or money

Together, we can make a great change

For the younger generation to emulate

JUSTICE!!! PEACE!!!
