RACISM
The whole world is in flame today!
All these animosities around us!
All this exploitation and injustice!
All this killing and destabilisation!
And now, I am so inquisitive always
Trying to know why we are despising
One another, and as a result of a deep
Reflection, I should say:
Down racial discrimination! Let love, unity
And justice take place; to hell all the
Racists of the world! Black or white,
Yellow or brown, red and what have you;
When you love yourself, you must
Love me, and vice versa, and in so doing,
No doubt peace will be settled.
Please, let us stand path together!
And say, to hell all the racists of the world
To hell all those who have contributed to its
Existence all over the world!
Now, let us give way to
Justice love and unity.
All these animosities around us!
All this exploitation and injustice!
All this killing and destabilisation!
And now, I am so inquisitive always
Trying to know why we are despising
One another, and as a result of a deep
Reflection, I should say:
Down racial discrimination! Let love, unity
And justice take place; to hell all the
Racists of the world! Black or white,
Yellow or brown, red and what have you;
When you love yourself, you must
Love me, and vice versa, and in so doing,
No doubt peace will be settled.
Please, let us stand path together!
And say, to hell all the racists of the world
To hell all those who have contributed to its
Existence all over the world!
Now, let us give way to
Justice love and unity.
