Racism Poem

Racism

Racism affects all

I make the racist comments

I am the racist comment

The color matters

My paleness earns me power

Mine gets me ignored

Speech

My annunciation is perfect that my voice is heavenly

My accent is so bad that I can't be understood

Background matters

I was here first

I just came here for a better life

This poem is about racism, how it can be shown everyday even though it can't really be noticed. It was kind of easy of telling the story from the immigrants point of view but I can't say the same for the one making the comments. It was kind of hard, since I kind of had to make things up, things I really didn't know about. But I think it came out pretty good. Sweat and blood gives of good results.
