It makes no difference, black or white, <br />but racism they have no right, <br />the comments they shout at innocent people, <br />it hurts inside it's very lethal. <br /> <br />Slavery i'm sure you know, <br />started years and years ago, <br />sometimes we think it will never end, <br />they see us smile, it's all pretend. <br /> <br />They pain and torture in our heart, <br />our family and friends worlds apart, <br />the bad in their hearts will it ever release? <br />when will it end? when will it cease? <br /> <br />someone save us from this heartache, <br />will this nightmare be over? <br />will i ever awake? <br /> <br />Treat us nicely, <br />thats all we please, <br />we'll do anything, <br />we'll beg on our knees. <br /> <br />You disqualify us from the human race, <br />and its all because of the colour of our face. <br /> <br />You put us into different groups, <br />are lives are like a loop the loop. <br /> <br />On our pay it's hard to survive, <br />there's nothing here to keep us alive. <br /> <br />You treat the world like its your own, <br />wrapped in our pain you leave us alone. <br /> <br />You simply dont know how we feel, <br />you may aswell chop us up and eat us for a meal. <br /> <br />Our inlet of life soon gets closed, <br />by the men who fight for the english rose. <br /> <br />Its like our lives are out for rent, <br />are letters to home they never get sent. <br /> <br />You treat us like a trick of the mind, <br />i think you must be colourblind.<br /><br />becca watson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/racism-colourblind/
