No matter what our Nationality our colour or our creed <br />We are air breathing mortals and when we cut we bleed <br />We may look on them as inferior as weeds amongst the flowers <br />But the proof of their equality is their blood flows red like ours. <br /> <br />Racism is born of ignorance and ignorance is based on fear <br />That's what happens when the negative things of those we do not know we only wish to hear <br />'Til to the sharp scythe of the Reaper we eventually must fall <br />So lets toast egalatarianism and a fair go for all. <br /> <br />No matter where we come from or our title to fame <br />One day it will not matter to us we will all be the same <br />On our great journey through life we may weather many a storm <br />But we must all return to Nature in whatever shape or form. <br /> <br />No matter what our Nationality or no matter what our Race <br />We are mere mortals born to die and others to take our place <br />Ignorance and lack of empathy to racism does lead <br />And differences no more than skin deep, red is the blood we bleed.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/no-matter-what-your-nationality/
