When Racism Feeds

A Poem on Racism

Our world is watching

While Racism is feeding

Rioting and looting

Demonstration and shooting

Lynching revived

Because racism must thrive

Globalizing while feasting

Racism is no weakling

It’s allowed to grow

From above and below

Planted in minds, hearts, and souls

In adults and children who just don’t know

When Racism feasts

Hatred is release

Racism is hatred best friend

They feed each other to the end

Destroying property and lives

My race raging to survive

Destruction, disaster, death, and defeat

All happens because Racism must feed

Unity can stop Racism’s feast

Coming from North, South, West, or East

Kindness, tolerance, and understanding will increase

When love is released

Stop giving Racism and Hatred a feast

Because it will be humanity’s defeat .
