Poetry

Racism Is Around Me Everywhere

Francis Duggan

Of human ignorance I am almost in despair

For racism is around me everywhere

But like they say sheer ignorance is bliss

Just like Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss.

Some people carry their honour in a flag

And of their Nationality they brag

They feel superior and they differentiate

And against those who are different they discriminate.

So many people still judged by their race

For such there never ought to be a place

'A fair go' those untruthful words I do recall

There is no such a thing as a 'fair go for all'.

Though we live in a so called democracy

Of racism we never will be free

They judge you by where you come from and the colour of your skin

For many equality and respect seems impossible to win.

It's been awhile since the days of Martin Luther King

His name to it has a familiar ring

If against racism he did not choose to strive

Today the great man he would be alive.

So many holding the reins of power not spiritually aware

And racism is around me everywhere

And racism only leads to division and war

Just goes to show how ignorant some are. [1]
