Do You See?(racism)

by Cassandra   Feb 21, 2006


You look,
Do you truly see,
Do you see the person?
Or do you only look,
and think that man of another race,
is a mistake to the human race?
Maybe you should try to get to know me,
see that i am really a man,
Who works hard...
Treats every person equally,
someone who would do anything for his country,
Or do you only look at my...
My skin color,
My religion,
My nationality,
Dont make judgment of me for these things,
Open you eye's
See that....
You are as equal,
As me.

~i wrote this for my friend she's black and thought that i should write a poem about racism...please comment, thanks~

    I really enjoy reading your poem...Racism is something that i cannot understand...why people judge other people just because de way they look? Its sad...but anyway keep writing poems like that ;)

    I realy liked it. its something that others can relate too and not just the person that wrote it or in this case the person you wrote it for.
