Poet's Note
Racial Chants in the past month got me thinking...
But before I share my thoughts see this video. Hearer's discretion is advised though.
What message are they passing across to the cute innocent boy? This incident as well as several other recent ones especially in Europe got me thinking...
Being racist is so obviously damn stupid and narrow minded that it beggars belief that mortals would conceivably hold the thought that they are superior to other mortals! Well they should tell that to the 'grave'! Death makes mockery of the racist dogma. So also does life and it's numerous vicissitudes!
Racism destroys people and nations. It is like painting a wall with bare hands and using feces as the paint! It demeans the giver reducing him/her to sub animal as well as creates a fecal mess of ill will in the mind of the receiver! It is the putrid stream from which many injustices flow. It is a monster we ought to loathe!
I have captured my thoughts about this in a poem. Enjoy!
A monster we ought to loathe,
whose hideous face of hate
is carved from an evil template,
with men’s heart his bode
and many a race his breed!
Ignorance masked as insight!
Black, Coloured or White!
Supremacist lost in self-deceit.
Oh! Monstrous a crime his deed
a one-colour world his creed.
His one-dimensional mutated brain
flashes discrimination as rain
as racist eyes scarce conceal disdain!
Men his skin are Angels
and others not are Devils!
His voice with bile is cursed.
His venom well-travelled dispersed.
The dignity of man reversed.
Spreading a malady of spite
his virus makes mockery of right!
He tells of tales of brutes;
Of slaves, pygmies and castes;
Of injustice, condescension endemic in places;
Of pogroms and cancerous genocides from hell;
Of gender and sex biases, rights denied as well!
His tales are tales of love’s death
in spite of the commonality of birth.
How foolish to treat your kind with filth,
for the grave far more sensible embrace
White, Colored, Black equal in repose!
