the Angry Soup Of Racism
ain't it a shame
when hate lynches
a 14 year old Colored boy
in 1955 Mississippi
and blows away the dreams of
four innocent little Negro girls
in 1963 Birmingham, Alabama
yeah
bus that to your segregated thoughts
as I 'interracially' walk you
through Little Rock, Arkansas
with Daisy Bates & nine Black Children
to march along side the National Guard
on their way to a lily white school
as the message of this
un-segregates & un-tangles
the history of hate
attackin Negroes in 1957
whose only desire was to be educated
and schooled too
racism & hate
doesnt try to guide
the white citizen council back
to their good senses
cause racism
dont care bout nobody
being Jew or Colored
when it needs to
fire-bomb
Negro churches with Negroes in them
or feels the need to hang someone
from a tree out of existence
racism even devours
its own kkklan
as the innocent
pay the ultimate price
racism doesnt care
if your church is the 16th Street Baptist
and 14 yr. old Addie Mae Collins
is one of the four black Alabama children
killed in attendance
racism aint concerned about
you being Caucasian either
or your last name being
Jewish
White
Black
Brown
Till
Schwerner
Evers
Liuzzo
Mandela
Martin or Rodney King
and so many other names
that well never know of
that racism wounded or buried six feet
under hate
racism doesnt care about
what kinda NAACP dream
youre having
or concerned about your last name
being 'Parks' in 1955
when it attempts to guide you back
to the 'Colored' section of the bus
where you know your
civil-rights will be denied
every time you allow
' segregation & discrimination'
to collect its fare
racism and its hateful followers
have no regard at all
for ones race/religion
or sexual persuasion
especially when racism peers
into its discriminating mirror
century after century
time after time
day after day
and tells itself in 2006
'its better than you'
because youre 'cultured' different
from them'
yeah
racism stirs an 'ugly pot' of soup
that no one should ever have to taste.

Racism All Around
Of human ignorance I am almost in despair
For racism found everywhere
But like they say sheer ignorance is bliss
Just like Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss.
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 judge by their race
For such there never ought to be a place
'A fair go' those untruthful words do i 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 we truly are.
