People from different places come to America <br />They have different backgrounds and have different skin <br />But they are in America <br />They should be accepted, even if their from Berlin <br /> <br />And yet we make fun of how they look <br />And call them names by their background <br />Because it’s a little harder for them to read a book <br />And we look down on them and frown <br /> <br />Racism is a weird thing <br />Sometimes we don’t even know what it is <br />Like Mr. King <br />And that dream of his <br /> <br />We shouldn’t judge people <br />At any cost <br />Because their still people <br />Just a little lost <br /> <br />So the next time you see someone <br />Being made fun of because of their color or background <br />Don’t keep walking and look down <br />Help and try to fix what has just been done <br /> <br />People are people <br />And they have feelings too <br />People are people <br />Just like you<br /><br />Keegan Shelton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/racism-is-not-a-crime-but-it-should-be/
