Racism being effectively used time after time

From Hitler segregating Jews

To “being black is a crime”

Institutional Discrimination

The world has built a cage

Placing every Ethnic group into a category they can’t change

Jews were to be put to shame

Was the Holocaust’s intentions

Locked away and killed

For being a certain ethnicity

The Genocide created monsters

And no one seemed to see their faults

“Blonde hair and blue eyes”

Circled through their only thoughts

Prejudice ways made minority groups

Singled out and treated wrong

Because the skin you were born into

Discrimination has grown on our nation

It is still used everyday

Stereotyped that because you’re black

You’ll probably steal, they put their jewelry away

They claim we’re so different

Just look at our skin

But it’s all a cultural assimilation

When we look through time

There’s a “sorry” here and there

But what does that really mean?

No reparations for killing harmless souls

Just an addition to God’s everlasting wings

Time has gone on, its 2018

Who’s still racist?

They ask like that’s just last year’s theme

Still brutally beaten

And still not protected by our own

Hands up, don’t shoot

Still wiping tears for the ones who are gone

So many ask, “what are you complaining for?”

“You’re free,”

“You’re alive,”

but somehow, we still end up fighting for our lives

Imagine that.
