Not 1 Color in the Rainbow

(RACISM)

By Barbara FaloPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Succulent is the plant we have grown to be

We were watered vibrantly, somehow seem to disagree

We are nourished by an incredible seed planted

Racism you all cry, now simply lives are taken for granted

You raise issues on color, gender, beliefs being racist

Allow yourself to see, your lost in the sands of the oasis

Destructions are truly your ways that are sot

Remember, RACISM starts with a single bad thought

Color, gender nor religion should not be a choice of our nation

Be calm, strategically handle yourself, resist temptation

Finesse is a valid representation in how you approach others

Racism is UNTOLERABLE on any level, unite as brothers

There are many flaws in our society today

What good is your stand, if you can’t elevate your way

Choices are yours, whether good or bad ordeals arise

Not liking anyone for color, gender or faith, shows your unwise

Hate, is harsh on every aspect of emotion you feel

Rise above the negativity, it’s not weak to keep it real

If you’re bothered because I’m brown, white or black

Your world, is shattered, you for sure will be attacked

Subtle is being able to show wisdom in what others don’t see

Eventually a kind word, is effective, this is my decree

Don’t be oblivious in the world’s trials today

Resist hatred, come to comprise, all could be ok

It’s irrelevant on your thoughts of being physically strong

Unless you admit your choices, are sometimes wrong

Cultivate in the thought of being peaceful towards all

In our country no need for hatred or even barrier walls.
