We as a Race


We as a race
And when I say race I do not mean the black race versus the white race
I mean the human race versus the evils that have come to reign today's society
This human race needs to cater to people as a whole. 

Not to specific colors, cultures, and composites that have produced a fictitious dichotomy in which they are perceived as ruler.

This feigned system of supremacy is flaw,
And I will not be pawned off, and passed
As nothing but a mere pawn, trying to make it past
The pond, in which I was never taught to swim 

Because everytime I step foot in the water it's in somebody's intention to drown me.

Instead I shall be the single blade of these grass roots to sit back and CHANGE the way I conduct daily activity.

The first man who sees his role in society to be as equal as everyone else's is the first to take a step towards change,
But the first man who sees his role in society to be as significant as the holy messiah is the first who needs to take a step back and change.
