Racism

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Racism in the world is far too big,
But it withers like a leaf on a twig.
Why must we be cruel to eachother,
We are all a family, sisters and brothers.
Skin doesn’t make the perfect man,
So be smart and mix it you can,
Different doesn’t always mean bad,
So jump up and say “Racism is mad”.
If we could combine everyone together,
White and black and alter it for ever,
Make sure we know inside we’re the same,
And join together for a football game.
Everyone has his equal rights,
To behold a power with all their might,
All the world, anyone at all,
Should have the right to kick a ball,
Work as a team for once in our life,
And end all this trouble and strife –
By kicking racism out forever!
