Demolish Racism



What should it matter the color of one's skin
 we are all human, of flesh, blood and a heart within

We are of many cultures across the world
 and should respect the differences that we all hold.

Man should never be judged by the colour of his skin
but instead by his heart deep within

 It is ignorance that allows anyone to think
that a whole race or culture can be degraded to stink

 Racism is dirty, disgusting and mean
 It destroys good feelings and breaks self esteem.

 Racism is a fire that will burn your soul.
 It's ugly, nasty and very unwhole

 it's cruel and hateful to think anyone is superior
as to treat a whole race as being inferior.

It's sad but true that you keep Racism alive
 when you speak of colour, white, black.... who cares blue.

  This is the talk that allows it to survive
Let's demolish Racism starting with me and you.
