Poetry Post 96

Permissive Racism
Living in a land of rapists and racists
How can people wonder why I am an escapist
People always thinking I'm rude because I can't relate
In a world so tolerate of indifference and hate
How can so many black men be found guilty on the defense
When so many free whites started the offense
If a black man kills he makes his people a disgrace
But if a white man kills he's Jewish, queer or somehow disowned from his race
How can color say who is right
Ain't there different shades of white
Dave Berkowitz and Timothy McVeigh were just as light
Does their race make them more or less trustable at night
How can any race be pure with pedophiles and serial killers in their gene pool
How can the ignorant call another man a fool
At least the whites can afford a good school
But that doesn't matter as long as a black doesn't rule

The Activist
Traveling person to person
Trying to get a good deed done
Helping others to find time and invest
In a socially active interest
I passionately pursued people to get fliers sent
But the more I tried the more I found others indifferent
Weak and rejected I had nearly quit
Shut down the charity before I even started it
I continued to preach to each passerby
Asking about the destruction of the Earth but they couldn't care why
Charities are not a place the public will have their lives spent
When slow comfortable deaths are more convenient

One Weak Race
Every man is just a man
Doesn't matter whether native or foreign
We are all doom to sin
Over and over again
There is a drunk in every town
And each country has a killer wearing a crown
There is no use in dividing us by the features of our face
Every nationality has a national disgrace
So don't hate a man for the color of his skin
For there's a weaker man wearing the same shade you're in
And if you track back into your family's history
You'll find the reason for this similarity
