Once upon a time,
We were all one tribe,
We all stuck together,
In order to survive,
We all shared the load,
And we all had something to contribute,
The strong and the weak both valued,
Not one of us mute,
But somewhere down the evolution line,
I couldn\u2019t tell you when,
Some got insecure and protective,
And started to judge their once close friend,
But our once small tribe,
Is now nearly 8 billion strong,
And we judge and hate anything that\u2019s different than us,
Our morals are all wrong,
I\u2019ve listened to racist opinions,
And I still don\u2019t understand,
That they truly believe this deluded view,
And for no real reason, hate their fellow man,
Why is racism a real thing?
Why do you hate what is not the same?
Why do you condemn a living human?
Just because of their skin colour or name?
We all struggle,
We all bleed,
And acceptance instead of hate,
Is what we all need,
We are all so different,
We are all so unique,
But every damn human,
Deserves a right to speak,
We don\u2019t need to go to war,
We don\u2019t need all this stress,
So just treat everyone equal,
And let\u2019s move on from this mess,
I will never judge a man,
By the colour of his skin,
But I will judge a man,
Based on the kindness he has within,
Life is hard,
No matter who you are,
And if you fight on your own,
You will not get very far,
But if we all help each other out,
And we stand together and unite,
None of us will struggle as much,
And we can potentially win the fight,
All 8 billion of us,
Has something to bring to the table,
We can all be happy,
Just as soon as we remove that label,
So fuck racism!!
It\u2019s an unnecessary bullshit form of hate,
So don\u2019t be judgemental or a racist,
And learn to communicate,
No one can change the past,
But we can leave that shit behind,
Let\u2019s all stand together,
For the sake of humankind.
