In Every Race Poem by Francis Duggan

In every race and in all people the good and the bad you will find
Though many of us tend to be blinkered to the faults of our very own kind
We see our own race as quite flawless but there of course we have it wrong
We are not any different to others to the one human race we belong
Tis our flaws that does make us human and living saints do seem quite rare
And to say that one race is better than another to say the least is quite unfair
Tis said there are more than six billion people in the bigger World out there
And though many of them speak different languages and from each other look different their worth one can never compare,
The one to us who looks quite different is not that different to you and i
We well may not speak the same language but we are all born to die
In every race and in all people you will find some bad and some good
Though all of us do share a loyalty to the Land of our Parenthood
There are good and bad in all people and some weeds do grow amongst the flowers
And though to us they may speak and look different their blood it does flow red like ours.
