Hope everybody is doing well. I like introducing my poems so the following was written to help encourage ending hate crimes and what my solution would be. All comments and critism accepted!!
I hope my message is clear.
Who Will We Be?
What will we be if these crimes persist?
Who will we be if we don’t resist.
Who will hear the cry of agony?
Who will be left to end the misery?
Who will we be?
Can’t you see?
We’re all one and the same
Can’t judge by gender or fame
Nor by color or creed
It seems that we have to take the lead
Begin to enlighten
Help those who are frightened
You hate based on the color of skin
And yet somehow we are all kin
We’re all from Adam and Eve
So tell me what you achieve.
Nothing except pain is caused
It seems we’ve become lost.
It’s time we change
Learn about those who seem strange
Time to end the hate
It’s still not too late
Just have to turn the page
Let our minds out of its cage
We need to learn tolerance
End our ignorance
We can’t show arrogance
Nobody is superior
Nobody can be inferior
Doesn’t matter if we’re
Muslim, Christian, or Jew
Nor Buddhist or Hindu
I’m me, you’re you
Now here’s what we must do
Stand united and tall
Don’t be divided and fall
Learn about the other race
Put hatred into chase
We need to put differences aside
And face the challenges in stride.
