Poems about Race
Martin Luther King once said, “Darkness does NOT drive out darkness; only light can.”
We live in a world
Where everyone's different
Different race, different skin color
And different identities
I saw black men of my generation tearing down all we built by, stealing, shooting, raping, and terrorizing.
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisib
Why are we fighting?
Why are we fighting with each other everyday for the same rights we all deserve?
(poems go here) I am a child of the Americans
A light-skinned mestiza of the Columbian islands
I waited for a thousand years
That looked just like the skies that are painted
Of black.
