Racism

Racism

I’m a racist.

It’s the colour of your skin

It’s your home I’ve never seen

It’s the language that you speak

It’s the freedom that you seek

It’s a culture that is new

I’m superior to you

It’s your pain I cannot see

You’re not welcome here with me

It’s the fear I hold inside

It’s my ignorance and pride

I’m not tolerant of change

To my prejudice I’m chained

I’m a racist

To the world my gift will be

A hatefull and divisive legacy.
