We know who the killers are,
We have watched them strut before us
As proud as sick Mussolinis',
We have watched them strut before us
...
Of human ignorance I am almost in despair
For racism is around me everywhere
But like they say sheer ignorance is bliss
Just like Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss.
...
(Dedicated to you, my Brothers and Sisters)
Powerful words,
Truthful words,
...
I can't barter my freedom
Take away the riches with you
Don't display your dollars and pounds
To my countrymen who need freedom too
...
We all must bring our
Racism to end.
A message to all, I long to send.
The colors of the world,
...
(for whom forced me to leave that orphan) ...
(I hear an orphan's tear while covered with his fear)
ohh, , on that list
...
Why do you tend to judge me
cause I'm of different race.
Why do you tend to hate me
cause I'm from a different place.
...
Portate bien,
behave yourself you always said to me.
I behaved myself
when others were warm in winter
...
The moment of Obama’s inauguration
Was a fluke of fate written for the nation
It was a moment to be cherished
...
Enough pain
To last life
Endured such
...
Stalking the corridors of life,
Black, frustrated minds
Scream for release
...
In a world that is
Free from terrible terrorism and death
Full of happy harmony and warmth
...
The racist cloaks his loathing thoughts
behind deceiving eyes
Those men who once wore hoods and robes
Today wear shirts and ties
...
Children are born blind to hate and bigotry
With their big smiles and loving ways
They are taught ugliness
By unthinking adults and overheard conversation
...
In my perfect world
The sky is a perfect blue
The grass is a soft green
And together are me and you
...
There are two types of people:
Those who play golf,
And those who recognize it
for the idiotic malpractice that it is,
...
In this tradition of hypocrisy,
Rich sea of shams,
Virtue hides behind sanctimony,
Watch dogs are drooling at the prize,
...
Oh! You are a little black boy,
and playing with your small toy.
Oh! You are black from outside,
but your heart and soul are white.
...
Why does mankind hate people based on religion and race?
Is it ignorance, education, or governments deciding our place.
For people are people regardless of the color of their face.
...
Man lives with hope,
And dies with hope,
Hope is a thing,
For all the wings.
...
People from different places come to America
They have different backgrounds and have different skin
But they are in America
They should be accepted, even if their from Berlin

Dimensions of love and life along the lines of righteous morals! ! !
Respecting all the rules along the line! Respecting all mankind without racism.
...
ohh, , on that list
an execustion for whom carry the hot blood of the east
the degnity, the pride, the justice for the least
...
Racism has a human heart,
An artery of cruelty and death,
It has the blood of anger and evil…,
Has a force of pains and hostilities.
...
Racism a nasty word
that conjures thoughts
of oppressive deeds
made by man because
...
I was feeling sad and red,
I didn’t know, which way, nation was going.
There were quotas all around,
Communal, caste, gender, language, regional and physical,
...
The eyes of hate stare down upon you
Prices of pain release the marks upon you
The paper of hope is torn in half
Racism, racism, all it does is laugh
...
Racism, islamophobia, homophobia, blackphobia
Why so fear in the air?
Why so fear in their lives?
Why we are not living in a cool jeweled moon?
...
The time has come to fight against Devils
Who have no category, no religion, no heart.
How much blood do they need to drink, to bathe?
They are really coward, the creatures of hell.
...
Till now,
They haven't seen this naked world,
They haven't known the human greed,
They haven't learnt the mystery of life and death,
...
All Across The Nation,
Is Hunger And Starvation.
All Across The Nation,

I see the sad color of racism not every other day
But every minutes of the day
I see the serious mental and physical damages
That this cancer has done throughout the ages
...
I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word…..Martin Luther King, Jr.

Ants Roaming Around,
Ants roaming about in search of Food for their colony;
With the muse of Positiveness ahead of them,
Able to live according to the lines of nature,

There is an aim
I vie to achieve
there is a dream
I die to live...

Not much so far done
More needs to be done
To tame this demon-
Racism is on the leash

if you can watch a child cry
without being touched by its innocence,
you need more help than the child.
if you witness a child of any colour

Democracy is about freedom of speech
Anarchy is, without a doubt, the opposite
Of democracy, liberty and freedom to wish
To hope, to dream and to confront defeat.

He is the new leader in an old US states
he eats up new expectations against
the old war conventions
the tiresome terror situations

With accuracy sea depth can be measured
Loyalty and honesty too can be assured
May be air miles can be with another scale
How can we measure the mind which is stale?

We are proud of the beautiful body
...
It's hard to extol the merits of mankind
and to lavish excessive praise is insane;
recognize the gamut of vain emotion
and treatment of our brothers that's inhumane.
...
May the year two thousand twelve usher in a world
A world whose achievements sure to be etched in gold
Making present maladies and miseries old
Facing future problems and challenges quite bold!
...
One day Rosa Parks was just too tired
of accepting that's how things are.
Martin Luther King had a prophetic vision
he wouldn't live to see the mountaintop.

Mr. Johnson you silly little boy
Disregard those outrageous assumptions
The hands of time will continue to progress
So only you are to blame for your failures my son

and always there are the children
there will be children in the heat of day
there will be children in the cold of winter
...
Prejudice cannot be hidden,
Arrogance for the color of skin.
Its ugly head is here again
Racism is lurking within.
...
The joy of truth is
that it can be funnier,
crazier,
than fiction.
...
We are in an oozing nation,
Where acts foul, matter little,
As others don’t act at all.
...
How we were friends
Throughout the years
Some in kindergarten
Warm milk made us peaceful
...
Cathay plane touching its landing gears
dispatching me in the port of nowhere
no one welcomes me yet
except dull, oppressing sun-heat
...
Where does the fanatics rule and hold the sway?
Why do they prefer to remain aloof and stay away?
Is their no ground or base to show them the way?
In near future we have no hopes for bright ray

I can't breathe
Though I don't wear a tight mask
I can't breathe

God gave us colours in our daily routine,
A clear blue sky the grass so green,
The colours of the mammals, all the life in the seas,
Our rainforest habitat they're all there to please.
...
Superior?
Is that what you think you are?
Superior! ?
because your skin is lighter?
...
I have a dream that each day I call unto morning and rinse my face; I will feel the breeze of last and start something new. Something needed but not known to attention.
...
Illusion is its nature
this distance between us
division, my mind over my soul
miss the truth
...
Salvation! ! !
Yours truly with righteous morals;
Lifting up positive morals along the line,
Views of peace and love!

Why are we obsessed with a persons colour,
When life without it would be so much duller,
We only get one chance in this life,
Yet another's shade can cause so much strife.

Wise words from a wise old fellow for as long as I live I'll recall
He said if you are a Racist to one Race then you are a racist to all
You cannot be a racist to one Race and claim you are not racist in any way
Few racists like to be called racist we are not racist you hear them say.

A glass of red wine after a luscious dinner
Making your night a bright
Staying glued till midnight

They have to pick cotton in the field each and every day
They would tell me how it made them feel
To know how race in the south back some years
