Prejudice and Racism (Free verse) by TLRufener
So many comment
On the world today
How all the corruption
Is here to stay
Prejudice and racism
Cloud over the skies
And all the adults do
Is wonder why
They wine and complain
As nothing ever changes
But it is all their fault
It passes down the ages
Children look up
To see examples of truth
Adults need to look down
To see words of proof
Look at the children
As they happily play
There is nothing there
To stand in their way
No one has told them
Not to play with new friends
Theyâve never heard how important
The color of your skin is
Black and white
Yellow and red
They have no false truths
Held strong in their heads
Skin makes no matter
To Americaâs children
Until the adults
Change their thought patterns
It is the adults
Who corrupt the youth
It is the adults
Who replace innocence with false truths
If ever they complain
About the world today
They should realize if nothing is done
Prejudice and racism are here to stay
