Definition of Racism
He is a victim of racism and all forms of discrimination
When blacks and the police meet at the same time
To the racist you have committed a crime
Right now the racism is in its prime
Right now the discrimination is in its prime
It appears its wrong for him to earn his dime
It appears its wrong for him to be in the lime-light.
Racism does not start
When you worship the racist
It is when you cease to
He or she will strike you with an open fist.
Racism does not start
If you are perceived as a dullard
Or have a regular simple job then turn drunkard.
Racism does not start
When you are aiming low
It only starts when you want to grow
Grow in a high-flying career
Then it becomes quite clear;
The racist thinks you should never be there
It starts when you want to grow in wisdom
It starts when you mix with others in their kingdom
Does it mean he has no right to aspire?
Or look up and aim higher
Or have any form of ambitious white desires
Does it mean he cant have white friends?
Or mix and mingle with the white elites?
At work puppets are used as tools for mobbing
Everything around him happens so fast
He is the only one to hear about it or last
In manipulated isolation he becomes the lone outcast
The techniques are modern vast and will continually last
Till he makes his exit and becomes a thing of the past
What they are actually doing is robbing
Robbing him of his dignity
Callously without any pity
Robbing him gradually of all his credibility
Publicly, disguising them in actions of witty
Creating an atmosphere of hate
There is no need to debate
Been black and a man is his fate
Constant discrimination is forever on his plate
Racism is not always obvious
Discrimination to those who do not care is oblivious
Discrimination to those who have never been there is oblivious
They will say he is imagining
Making things up and fabricating
Many will never understand how he feels
Until it is too late for the wounds to heal
Just because he is black and not a pretty white woman
They look down disrespectfully at him like a felon
In their hearts they consider it reality
They are all over-superior to black

A Satease Poem
These Sirene's, These things, These fene's!
keep Appearing when, I see them! then! they!
turn into hymns of horrible scenes! right away!
As I describe below, for ever more, I do emplore!
These sirene's these things, these fene's!
in their horrible scenes! of racial discrimination against
people of color and women.
Where public agencies and schools to use loose Goals
of timetables to! address racial in gender disparities
As humans we all need equal opportunity!
Measures to allow race and gender to be considered
for decisions on promotion better agencies on hiring!
promotion, public schools enrollment! and to reverse
discrimination and affirmative action programs to ensure
a fair criteria for all human applicants!
Available jobs to be advertised for Both men and women!
We need afffirmative action to create a level playing field!
And no more some may not receive the advantage they've
had use to having!
And no racial discrimination and preference have no priviledge
remedy for discrimination never more, no never, for ever,
ever more! I'll emplore! Enough stuff from these sirene's
these things, these fene's,
from their horrible scene's!

Racism and discrimination
He walks the path of sorrow
Inside he fights thoughts of horror
For some will there be a tomorrow
He wishes for another life to borrow
Racism and discrimination
With ruthless tactics of elimination
It still goes on, it still goes on
Some think it is fun, some think there is none
He is on the verge of breaking down
Wishing his skin was white and not brown
The same color as most wedding gowns
The threesomes have insulted him like a clown
Damaged his reputation, taken away his crown
Ordinary people in a past circle as close friends
Are gradually bringing his career to an end
Each action he takes he is called upon to defend
In front of him and the public they all pretend
After the damage is done, they try to make amends
Racism and discrimination
With ruthless tactics of elimination
It still goes on, it still goes on
Some think it is fun, some think there is none
Yes! He walks the path of sorrow
Inside he fights thoughts of horror
His heart and soul was once whole
But they have cut open a huge wide hole
