A voice
to tear through
all known
prejudice
misplaced hate
irate
ignorance
one sound
can rectify
the divide
unify
false pride
as two more
self-righteous
tribes
go to war
do they even
know what
the hell
they are fighting for
if my voice
can be the
echo resounding
across time
an apology
to the world
for the countless
years lost
justifying
race crime
an expression
for a generation
tired of repeating
the broken
record
of history’s
storyline
how many
volumes must
we burn
as we turn
a blind eye
to the injustice
we create
in the name
of faith
blood red ink
spills off
power filled
pages
a script
engraved upon
the tombstones
of those innocent
children whose
only crime
was to be born
with leopard’s skin
spots do not
change
their colour
if the master
holding the key
to the cage
refuses to see
the humanity
locked away
abusing another
HUMAN BEING
for his own
personal gain
life is not
a game
nor a
tug-of-war
played out in
school yards
the breeding ground
for this false
authority
hierarchy
causes
anarchy
flag ship
tick tack toe
there are
more colours
in the rainbow
not just
white or black
thinking
so why do
we preach
such segregation
whilst sitting on
the fence
protecting our
station
my silence is
an unspoken
acceptance
of this disgraceful
race
war
so I use
my voice
to tear down
fences
to welcome
my fellow man
we have no
right to play
judge or jury
to decide
who has
the right
to dwell on
God’s
land.
