Unfulfilled

What is wrong with the white?
They do not understand
The way they treat us,
Shouldn’t determine a place in which we stand
They act like we are nothing
When really they don’t see
That color shouldn’t determine
Humanity
They ask for help everyday
We are just expected,
To nod our head and say okay
Sometimes the nice ones will pay us
But most of them don’t care
I wish they would just accept us
And treat us like we are there
We get accused of things we didn’t do
Just because of our color
I guess we aren’t human too
We don’t have a say in right or wrong
And people don’t give a damn
If we are weak or strong
The disease is known as racism
It’s so abusive
I think a color is a just a color
What’s so mutually exclusive?
We could be killed for looking
Looking at a young miss wrong
We mean no harm
But I guess colors just don’t get along
We can’t take a stand
Without the risk of being killed
You never know what to expect
The whites will always be unfulfilled

Racism is an awful thing. It does not occur as much as it used to but discrimination is still a dominating factor.
