Sincerely, Racism


Hate. The word that proves how low your society really is.

Ignorance. You wish to teach love, yet I am a refuge for you fools.

Segregate. Disconnect, divide, you guys chose to classify yourselves in misconstrued groups.

Repression. One group automatically now assumes another group to be inferior--less likely to succeed, less capable of making one’s own decision.

Inequality. It seems you like to treat someone with a different color unfavorably.

Violence. Creating violence isn’t difficult, I can lead a revolution.

Oblivious. You are blinded with the mock-up of your great society not realizing I hinder the process of seeking truth, understanding, and having empathy.

Unsensible Human Beings. Your brains are programmed to think like me, making judgements solely based on very little information.

Get rid of me.  As if you would fight against your own inbuilt mechanism.

I will never disappear. As long as there are people, I will be there.

Sincerely, Racism.

Poetry has been my escape ever since I could remember. Every time I think of what to say or write, my throat has a seal that is broken free from strangulation. Words tend to sporadically slip out of my mouth and I have the pure enjoyment of writing them down.
