Wise words from a wise old fellow for as long as I live I'll recall <br />He said if you are a Racist to one Race then you are a racist to all <br />You cannot be a racist to one Race and claim you are not racist in any way <br />Few racists like to be called racist we are not racist you hear them say. <br /> <br />Racism is born of ignorance and ignorance we know to the ignorant is bliss <br />That difference make people more interesting the point of that some seem to miss <br />Our days can be measured in minutes and our lives can be measured in hours <br />And those we look on as different their blood is no less red than ours. <br /> <br />When some people talk of a fair go they do not mean a fair go for all <br />But a fair go for their own kind only in their ways some are very small <br />People should not be disadvantaged due to their place of birth or their Race <br />In the Human World of the future for such there will not be a place. <br /> <br />That I do pity those who are racist may seem quite a strange thing to say <br />In the darkness they surround themselves with they seem to be losing their way <br />In shaping the future of the Human World any part they are not destined to play <br />Their thinking it does seem outdated in the multicultural World of today.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/racism-is-born-of-ignorance/
