In some sense, it could be argued a category about Life is a vague, nebulous cop-out. Any poem ever penned by Man or Woman would surely gain ready admittance here. All poems, almost by definition, are about Life. But don't, for a moment, think that makes this category any less important. On the contrary, if the poems and topics you are about to explore are about Life, then they are also about you. No one person can ever experience all that life has to offer. It is only through sharing - experiences, feelings, insights - that we can hope to grow beyond our own meager lifetime. Are you ready to grow today? Racist You judge them by their skin You don't take a chance to see what's within You don't care what may be inside Beneath the color of yourself, you hide You call them names Like it's all games How on earth could you expect That from them, you'd get respect? They're different than you, so what? You don't treat a golden retreiver any different than a mutt. Why do you say these things that make them hurt? Why must you constantly make them feel like dirt? You're racist, that's what you are You're leaving these people with an eternal scar Just get out, don't ever come back Don't ever judge people 'cause their white or black. |
