…as nations rise against nations

Influenced by greed and corruption

Passed on from generation to generation

Like a genetic disorder or malfunction

Embedded deeper than the bones and marrow

A disease that causes great grief and sorrow

Hate, anger, bitterness against another culture

Fed to our children like breast milk as a mother’s nurture

The ugly head of racism has no shame

It takes up residence in all, as it seeks fame

Young, old, rich and poor

It’s knocking on your door

“Human! Human! Let me in!

I am mighty and powerful, and I’m not a sin!”
