Prompt: The word is racism.  Freewrite.

Racism
Racism is over here
It’s over there
It’s all around
Us it’s in the air
It’s amplified by
The hateful orange
Man In a house of
Pure white he builds
A huge wall in absolute
Delight he will kick out every Muslim
Asian
Mexican
And whatever else
  America shall become
The next Berlin
Separating us from the
Differing cultures of the world
Isolating ourselfs until we are


A cracking crumbling economy
As a wise man known only as
philosopher George Santayana,
Said 'Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.'
And I suppose America has learned absolutely nothing
In its lifespanracd
We were ignorant
Of the culture feelings
And human worth of the
First African Americans
In the earliest days of our history
And we have learned nothing to this dayr
