Poetic-Verses
'' The Simple Answer Is No ''
If everyone were black would racism exist?
Would the colour white ever be missed?
From hating each other would we desist?
Could love be what this would sow?
Imagine a world where everyone was white,
Would that make living seem all right?
The future of our species seeing the light,
Would our respect for each other grow?
The problem is there are blacks who hate blacks,
Whites loving each other, it's substance this lacks,
In our everyday lives you can see through the cracks,
We're all living on what is skid row.
Black and white comes in many different shades,
In truth life is like a game of charades,
As we question our disguise the truth then fades,
Which comes as a bit of a blow.
Being black or white does not prevent hate,
The simplest thing can make us irate,
If we could only learn to communicate,
Maybe our future together would glow.
If it wasn't colour we'd find another excuse,
With each others emotions we play fast and loose,
It's in our make up to dish out abuse,
The cure we just don't want to know.
Racism is entirely a man made projection,
In life we would all love to find perfection,
Yet it's from this concept we all need protection,
It can be the cause of such woe.
We are all Human Beings no one's better than you,
Yet racial hatred we just cannot subdue,
Would being colour blind stop all this ado,
