Why must we be called a raciest statement?
Why not the name our parents named us?
It will always be prejudice,
And can know one person stop it alone!
If they are wide enough to steep that low.
Some people will, but most people wont.
Try to put an end to prejudice.
That is why I named this poem Color Adjustment.
We have to adjust to each others race.
Do not worry about the appearances.
Just worry about the heart in them.
What they are made of?
How they treat you?
Some people will have to search for confidence in themselves.
To see what's best for them self down the journey of survival.
It is probably what others always say.
They just have to accept them for their self.
I am furious!
Who do you think you are asking me "who are you?"
Who am I? Must you ask?
Like so many before you who didn't make
I refuse to sit and do nothing to help us
So I wake at dawn and go to school thinking the entire time that I don't want to be you!
You know who you are:
The politicians, the drug dealers, the business owners, the crack heads and winos, or the
raciest presidents to name a few:
All people who give my name shame.
If you didn't know it hurts me more than it hurts you
Because I am suppose to be just like you
I'm not suppose to go to college and get a degree
or get a job so I can be free.
Have you ever thought about that?
We live in the land of the free however; nothing you want to be is free.
When you eat, drink, fight, cry, drive, and survive
You pay taxes that i eventually pay.
It is because you are a wino, alcoholic, business owner, and or president
You are me.
And I am the America that the rest of the world doesn’t not see.
And might I ask who are you again?
