Start making some changes!

by Mack Bopape   Oct 4, 2007


Why don't we start making some changes
Change the old way of living
Change the way we treat each other and
Change the way we do things

We might have found freedom but;
But the rate of change from old to now
Is not worth the time we have been in freedom
And the treatment is still the old one
Even though is not explicit

I know there have been some Changes but
They are way too little according to
The way the way every one expected
There is still a big gap between us
Because of race difference

Don't say I'm racist!
Because I believe in equality
I'm just expressing how I feel
Because I'm personally experiencing what I say

I wouldn't like to see any racial group to be oppressed
Because I know how it feels
Believe me, it hurts so badly
It hurts to feel inferior
To feel inferior because of your skin colour

Stop calling us animals
Stop calling us animals because we are the same
The only difference is on the outside
But inside we are the same

Change your old evil ways
Change the way you think of us
Because it's untrue and unfair
Let's change and be one united nation
