Racism, a disease that poisons our minds
Divides us and blinds us, it’s about time we find
The courage and strength to break these chains
And rise above the hatred, the hurt, the pains
It’s a battle that’s been fought for centuries
Yet still, its hold on us remains a mystery
How can we claim to be so evolved
When our hearts are still unresolved?
From the darkest shades to the slightest hue
We are all humans, each one of us true
But somehow we’ve been taught to see
The color of skin, not what lies beneath
We judge each other based on appearance
And deny ourselves true coexistence
But let me remind you, my brothers and sisters
That we are all made of the same star dust and particles
Why do we let a mere shade of skin
Determine whether we lose or win
The chances in life, the opportunities
Shouldn’t they be based on our capabilities?
But instead, we hold on to stereotypes and fears
Allowing racism to cause us all these tears
Why can’t we see that diversity
Is what makes this world a true beauty?
It’s time to open our hearts and minds
And leave this hatred and ignorance behind
For together we are stronger and united
Let’s break the chains of racism, let love be ignited.
