A Tribute to Racism

 When at the beginning of time exist one race,
 When men lived as brothers and not rival,
When we were all made in the image of his grace,
 Then came an idea of survival.

When came the birth of racism,
 Unity was now considered the song of old,
 Then man started to live a life of cannibalism,
An eye for an eye was the code.

 Man lived the life of supremacy,
 Using another of his kind to gain        superiority,
 Segregation and hatred was the courtesy,
Until man begin to acknowledge his insanity

Because love and unity were restored and sorrow ends,
And racism was no longer our friend.
