Racism

The colour of our skin
Doesn't define who we are
It won't make us smarter
And won't make us a star
When people are racist
Its respect that they lack
And makes different creeds
Want to fight back
Different people of different colours
bleed the same as you
We all cry the same
No matter if we're black white or blue
we all hurt the same
If horrible words are said
We all need water to hydrate
And we all need food to be fed
We are all human beings
At the end off the day
If any your friend's are racist
Stand up and say
Racism will not be tolerated
Not in this day and age
If we all read from the same book
We will all be on the same page
