Wicked World
Stephanie Okoro Jul 2017
Initiated by the cruel humanity
Judging your neigbour by the race
Racism ended sociability
Which was caused by the wicked face

You little child of today shall not be blamed
For you have only followed the ways you assimilated
You were pure when you were created
Humanity destroyed your purity
For you knew nothing of the world

Racism shall die
If only the world could reunite
No one will cry
Unity will be our name
And we shall be one

Black or white?
It doesn't matter
Our features are the same
Because of the difference of colour
Hatred is shown in the world

Imagine a world full of only one colour
That will be boring
You won't explore any culture

It's time to show love and care
For the end is near.
This is about the racism that is being shown in the world daily.

Destroyed
Stephanie Okoro Jul 2017
What has the world come to?
I travel upstream in the world looking for peace but I'm unable to find it,
I run to the north, I see killing.
I run to the east, I see hatred.
I run to the south, I see racism.
And finally I run to the west and I see discrimination.

Where shall I go now?
The world has been sheltered with dishonesty, criminality and delinquency.
There is no escape, it's a prison now.
Love has faded,
Peace has vanished,
And honesty has disappeared.

I'm tired of people jumping into conclusions,
I'm drained of seeing disturbing actions,
I'm jaded of hearing unbefitting appelations,
I'm tired...
But there are no solutions
Humanity has been corrupted
Even if it's unwanted.

Every night I close my eyes
and hope to wake up in a tranquil world
But everyday my hope weakens more
as I wake up to the exact same heartless world.

I dream that hatred would abandon the world
and peace would be welcomed.
If we could learn how to love, we would solve every single problem.
you may say it's just a dream
But that dream will not be just a dream if everyone could make it a goal

How shall we ever restore humanity if everyone keeps on building their own paradise by destroying other people's paradise.

Let's not just sit and watch
Let's improve,
Let us make it a better place.
This poem is about things that has been happening in the world lately.
