Prejudice cannot be hidden, <br />Arrogance for the color of skin. <br />Its ugly head is here again <br />Racism is lurking within. <br /> <br />Disguised as mere poetry <br />Seething hatred shouts, <br />Name calling carelessly- <br />Gangrene inside out. <br /> <br />Our blood is all red-colored <br />Our hearts all colored rainbow, <br />Racist poems you authored <br />Your character, they show. <br /> <br />I was not brought up to be mean, <br />To racism I am not bent, <br />If that's where you have been <br />It's such a waste of your talent. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />'A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, a man of understanding is even-tempered.' <br /> <br />Proverbs 17: 27 <br /> <br />'Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool invites ruin.' <br /> Proverbs 10: 14 <br />.................................................................................................... <br />May 3,2008 Tarlac City<br /><br />Cynthia BuhainBaello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/racism-in-poetry/
