Every time I hear the news on the radio Or read a news paper I die inside just a little bit more Because it’s horrible What’s wrong with the world? All of the hatred Towards fellow men and women Just because they happen to have been born With a different coloured skin We are all human We are all members of the same race Why can some people not see that? Because children do Children of all colours and all religions Will play happily together in the schoolyard And this is the way it should be How can the colour of someone’s skin Have any relevance on the type of person they are? How can people hate somebody that they don’t know? Hate somebody that they never even met just because Their skin is a different colour to their own Get some perspective We are supposed to be a civilised race Why are so many people unable to see that we are all the same? We all have the same dreams We cry the same tears and we feel the same pain We all want to love and be loved And live in peace I don’t want to be part of a society That segregates and discriminates The truth of the matter is There is good and bad in everyone And it has nothing to do with the colour of skin I detest racism, its vile and repugnant And it makes my blood boil When I hear about hate crime on the news Because nobody should be victimised Over anything as trivial as the colour of their skin Where does this hatred come from? Is it a lack of understanding? Or is it a learnt behaviour? Because I look back at the children In the play ground Happily playing together And I only wish That everyone could look at the world Through the eyes of the children.
