Racism
This has been around for a long time
Something about it hurts my mind
Nothing about racism is fine
It might even make my eyes go blind
Tell me why racism is ok
It’s a messed up thing people that still exists today
Why judge someone’s race
When it might lead to anger, sadness, and hate
It creates barriers between people around planet earth
and make individuals question the importance of self-worth
We all bleed red, different skin shouldn’t matter
But we are still stuck on that twisted ladder
Society made progress but there’s more work to do done
Everybody should make an effort to be nice to everyone
People shouldn’t accept this form of hate
They should make a change and not discriminate
Racism makes me sad and frustrated
When I hear about it, I get aggravated
It’s messed up how humans can be
Racism is unnecessary
It can’t be solved overnight
But it can cause lots of fistfight
I believe racism will end someday
Probably when my hair turns grey
All the conflicts will finally end
So the world will be together once again
Then I can go to sleep at night
Looking at the stars shining bright lights
Realizing what we finally achieved
A world that is completely racism-free
