For racism in this World there should not be a place <br />For the crimes of one you condemn a whole race <br />For some to be racist any excuse they will find <br />Since racism is born of ignorance and ignorance is blind. <br /> <br />On your thinking on race you seem so far from right <br />The windows of your soul are shaded to light <br />Like a malignant cancer racism does grow <br />Of this person's race how many do you know? <br /> <br />To our idea of perfection we may try to cling <br />But of a perfect race there is no such a thing <br />Before we learned how to walk we first had to crawl <br />And the reaper one day will take care of us all. <br /> <br />Everybody is somebody's daughter and somebody's son <br />And you condemn a whole race for the crimes of one <br />All sinners are obliged to live with their shame <br />And for the sins of the father the son you don't blame.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-some-to-be-racist/
