He walks the path of sorrow <br />Inside he fights thoughts of horror <br />For some will there be a tomorrow <br />He wishes for another life to borrow <br /> <br />Racism and discrimination <br />With ruthless tactics of elimination <br />It still goes on, it still goes on <br />Some think it is fun, some think there is none <br /> <br />He is on the verge of breaking down <br />Wishing his skin was white and not brown <br />The same color as most wedding gowns <br />The threesomes have insulted him like a clown <br />Damaged his reputation, taken away his crown <br /> <br />Ordinary people in a past circle as close friends <br />Are gradually bringing his career to an end <br />Each action he takes he is called upon to defend <br />In front of him and the public they all pretend <br />After the damage is done, they try to make amends <br /> <br />Racism and discrimination <br />With ruthless tactics of elimination <br />It still goes on, it still goes on <br />Some think it is fun, some think there is none <br /> <br />Yes! He walks the path of sorrow <br />Inside he fights thoughts of horror <br />His heart and soul was once whole <br />But they have cut open a huge wide hole <br /> <br />Copyright 2007 - Sylvia Chidi <br /> <br />www.sylviachidi.co.uk<br /><br />Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/racism-and-discrimination/
