Racism Poem by Ojeikpo Elijah

Racism, a plague that poisons our world
A venomous viper, with a deadly sting
It's hatred and bigotry, tightly furled
A dark cloud that casts a shadow on everything
It seeps into hearts, corrupts the mind
Blinding us to the beauty of diversity
Creates divisions, leaving scars behind
Tearing apart our fragile unity
Skin color, a reason to be judged
Discrimination, a cruel and bitter game
Innocent lives, forever nudged
By the cruel hands of racism's flame
But let us not be silenced by its roar
For love and acceptance will always soar
Let us rise above this dark oppression
And embrace each other with open arms
For we are all part of the same creation
No race or color should cause us harm
Our differences should not divide
But rather, enrich each other's lives
Let us break free from this divide
And put an end to racism's cruel knives
For in the end, we are all the same
No one race should hold a higher claim
Let love be the anthem of our race
And tolerance, our guiding light
With every step we take towards grace
We'll banish racism out of sight
So let us join hands, and take a stand
Against racism, let our voices grand
For until every heart is free from hate
Our world will never truly be at peace
Let us unite, and together create
A future where racism will forever cease
For love knows no color, no race, no creed
Let's make it the only thing we need.
