Racism (Free verse) by Dovina

When a tiger's ripped your arm off and six have opened your belly head and heart all wounds now old and scarred then anything looking like a tiger makes you wary to say the least I am not a tiger as you suspect but only look that way an appearance I cannot change and you could know it too if you'd let me have some time But you cannot allow the risk and I will not pursue So warily we eye each other til someone makes a move

Given your belief that, by definition, different races have different physical characteristics, and given that the brain is a physical part of the body and has considerable influence over a person's behaviour, do you believe that discrimination on the basis of race is, in some cases, no more naughty than discrimination on the basis of genuine genetic inferiority? And is it not sensible to discriminate on the basis of genuine genetic inferiority? Would you let a spastic fly a plane? They'd almost certainly fly straight into a mountain.
