Serendipity - Poem
Addresses the progressive strides when accepting people of colour.
Children are born blind to loathe others and bigotry
With their uncanny smirks and foolish ways
From those who we respect the most, we are taught
ugliness
By self-righteous adults and discriminated assumptions
This makes them use words and terms that for generations
Have caused hate and bitterness
To our fellow brothers and sisters.
Yes, it's true they are brainwashed and not born
To this social cancer of abhor and despise
I once asked a friend who is black how she would like
To be addressed?
Black, Afro-American?
'No', she answered, 'just call me friend'.
