Rasisme

rasisme jager meg

tråkker på meg

skjønner ikke at jeg også er

et menneske

Black is black,

white is white.

Life is always,

a racial fight.

"Don't date her".

"Don't marry him".

"He doesn't match

the colour of your skin".

Why does it matter?

Why do we care?

Would you see a difference,

if the skin wasn't there?

They may use a language

we do not speak.

They may have beliefs

we find unique.

But deep down inside

beneath that thin shell.

You may find someone,

you know very well.

Friends come in all sizes, colours, and shapes.

And you might miss a lot

if you only see a face.

Each culture has something

unique we can learn.

To make our lives better,

so much more pure.

So cast off your prejudice,

replace hate with love.

And look at each person,

as does your Father above.
