Racism
Racism, terrible, life-altering, shattering, racism
Causing death, murder, bullying, crushing, suicide
Coming after years of ridicule, rejection, torment
Beaten for their color, beliefs, or how they dress
Worse than suicide, are the thoughtless murders
Often the next step after beating, bleeding, breaking
Murders come in many different forms, the K.K.K.
Hanging, beating to death, burning homes and families
Shooting their victims out right, bombings, faceless
But worst of all, is when we just ignore atrocities
Never doing anything about outrageous shaming
Terrible, horrid acts of hate, destructive, destroying
Community-burning
