Mistreatment of the colored

All people are born the same
Boy or girl, curious and silly
We play with our siblings friends and pets
We are only different by race
Until politicians make the colored look bad:
They are thieves, criminals and illegal

Things were the same until the ignorant got that message in their head
There were still some who didn’t think that way
Until societal walls were built and hide them
We went to everyone to tell them we won't hurt them
But soon everyone saw the illegal thieves the politicians talked about

We were told mow their lawns and do the jobs they don't want
They wanted our food and our culture but not us
Many said “go back where you came from” blind to the fact that this land was ours first
Without many people to speak with our conversations dulled like the blades on our lawn mowers
We gave up trying to please them and stopped doing what we were told

Eventually we are forced to leave the place we call home
On the borders we returned along with our foods and culture 
“Oh look they are where they belong” they said behind their walls “Finally they are gone and we are safe”
To the politicians smiling stupidly unaware that there are still criminals in their street
and the loss of their most important ally
