descrimination
Learn more about other poetry terms
A small detail of a person
Just a genetic-a factor;
not their pesonaity,
not their anger,
not their smile,
but something they can't change....
nor want to.
Why don't they just shut up?
They don't know a single thing.
They have no clue they are my problem.
I want to stay away from every single one of them.
I don't care if they are "family"
The color of my skin has caused a lot of people to hate me
The dark brown reflection in my eyes is abhorred.
I walk along the paved streets only to be discriminated against
Shock overcomes their body at the discovery of something new,
Disgust infiltrates the mind of those discovering something they never knew,
Curious as to what they are so surprised at, I would like to know too.
You use the word "Queer"
you hope the picture is painted clear
you judge off of looks
instead of the books
homophobia is real
they make such a big deal
they are people too
Descrimination.If I could change anything in the world it would be descrimination.
never did i think i could be one of those people
the people who love...
differently.
never before did i think id experience feelings
for that of the same sex
though now i find it somewhat rediculous.
I walk down this lonely alley every night
The moon lights my like a light tower in the sea
I talk to the devil every night I meet this alley
I hold him by the neck and he comes by the name of Jack
Change.
Such a broad word,
for such a monumental feat.
The key to change is tolerance.
In the beginning I'm granted with life. How can this be?
I'm blessed with a soul that lasts for all eternity
There's a being that watches over me
His existence is a mystery
Look at her hair,
Look at his shoes,
There's a creepy man over there, drinking some booze.
A white man shot, it's all over the news,
A black man down "it's his fault, what did he do?"
This skin is not my own; it's not a place I call home.
Not somewhere I can be me, not a place where I can be free.
Acid rain pierces my heart and tears my life apart.
Those who selfishly indulged in bailoutsInstead of going bankrupt,Who refurnished their lavish offices,Bought new gas guzzling cars andExpensive second homes with theirTax breaks and bonuses,
Standing in a row
See revulsion in their eyes
Together we stand
All wishing, hoping, praying
To be anywhere but here
