racism is bedded in colours <br />lips of inadequate mom <br />that pump poison into skins <br />thickening the hearts of her brood <br />- crying sour grapes that the <br />next door has redder grapes <br />because their land is on a higher greener plain <br />- crying the next door has a blue god <br />that works like a devil pilfering all of their wealth <br />- crying the next door is a green faced trespasser <br />who has turned robber grabbing what is not theirs <br /> <br />racism has one home which it is always driven to <br />- a river of red, scarlet red that stains hands black, <br />yellow or white, clothes, everything, everywhere<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/racism-in-so-many-shades/
