Our Race Is Africa Not 'blacks' Poem by Kelvin Gathiru

Our destinies maybe intertwined,
But our own paths are not aligned,
You are corrupt but am determined,
To find justice for the black-skinned,
Everyday the blacks are threatened,
I won't rest until the law is changed.

They don't treat us like humans,
Considering themselves as veterans,
What they see is a race of morons,
We aren't respected by politicians,
Even after a black led the Americans,
Don't call us black ones, we are Africans.

We must unite and take action,
By fighting for black's recognition,
A new social law is the only option,
For them to stop this discrimination,
I believe it is through communication,
That our grievances will be petitioned.
