Living Today
Still Racism?
We are one
This is ignorance in those speaking these words
We have almost legalised Gay Rights with marriage,
Almost! ! !
And Why should we not!
The majority support this
We have finally realised that domestic abuse is a total disgrace.
Watching helplessly as a child.....
The Policeman apologising
Yet now
It is a criminal offence
WE have
Accepted
Life is changing
Simply whilst blinking
Also we know
Our Lucky Country
Is No Longer
Though even still
What a TOTAL disgrace
That
In a Multi Cultural Society
Racism Exists
There are only a few
But they plant a huge bullet
We all eat the same food
Spend the same money
Beat with the same music
We all blend and laugh so beautifully
If the Majority of this world could paint a picture
It would be a picture of peace
For we can all
Laugh together

A very meaningful message here, Lyn. Racism, tribalism, discrimination for whatever reason is abhorrent! Political ideology....... Divide and rule......Rule by fear. We have only one world and we should share it equally.
Racism is still seen everywhere on earth today! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Despite all big talk and sermons on Equality, Fraternity and Liberty, it is so sad that racism and caste and color discrimination prevail! I too share your sentiments of sadness over this! Lyn... I greatly enjoyed your concluding stanza; If the Majority of this world could paint a picture It would be a picture of peace For we can all Laugh together
We are people with feelings and emotions, we are all on the one path to be happy, to make another person feel inferior is despicable and a crime against justice and equality! Great message In this powerful write!
