Let's embrace and Not Hate

People of every color

Is that all that you see?

Everyone is a person

With their own individuality

 

I see men, women, and children

All around me

If a child in need is Arab, Jewish, or Black

Would your support to help them lack?

 

White does not mean I hate you or I hate your skin

Maybe you’re just not nice

And you need to fix yourself from within

Or maybe you should put down your card

And rethink your opinion

You could just be wrong about your decision

 

Black doesn’t mean I will rob you

Or I am violent and dumb

I can be just as educated

You don’t have to fear or run

I am a person like you

Just unlock your heart

Your mind has the key

You never know what you might see

 

The Latinos are not out to take all the jobs

Remember we all are immigrants

From some far away place

Yes, some were brought as slaves

But we all here now

Let the past not way you down

And keep you locked out and bound

Take advantage of you life

Instead of stabbing at others like a knife

 

Asians are not all geniuses

And not all stupid or rude

Some come from many hardships

To make it to this land

Is it wrong to reach out and lend them a helping hand?

 

No I cannot say racism does not exist

In some places it is still an ugly deep abyss

But don’t let ignorance and hate

Create you into a fool

Look at each person one by one

There is beauty in some

 

Fools are amongst us

In many different colors and shapes

Put down your armor

Learn to care and respect

We all apart of the United States and this great world

Lets us not just judge the outside

Look from within

That’s when real peace will truly begins

Nice. It is true like you stated in your poem, the truth lies within. That is where some form of anger or hate originates. Good lines and descriptive references.
