"An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind". -Mohandas K. Gandhi


What does it mean to be a Jew,
Maybe Muslim, or Christian too?
To be from Russia or from Chad,
Is that good or is that bad?
Australians say “Gooday mate”
Is that their quirky fate?
If you speak Chinese and don’t believe in Jeezie Creez
If you are European and eat cow cheese,
Who is right and who is wrong?
If from Dublin or Hong Kong
Just because you sing a different song
Are really all that separated
Both are formally educated.
Is their a difference?
Perhaps in the way you view a circle or a fence.
But not in your humanity,
Not in mental sanity.
No races!
No, not even little traces!
Do not lie!
No one is actually not human.
You see all of us are the “true man”
It would be quite a sight to see……
To try and separate my friends and me…
Into our own “special place”
I told their was no such thing as “race”
The science have already told us this,
And still we all stay in “ignorance and bliss”.
So I beg of you….
Can I ever trust you?
To stop lying to yourself!
Take that book of the shelf.
You can see in an essay.
That the truth is all I say!
Try it and you will find..
The science are more than kind.
No such thing as race,
No, not even a trace!
