Racism still sadly continues
by Amit Chubbah

Racism comes in many shapes and forms
Sadly I have had my fair share since I've been born
Judged before I have been even given a chance
Delaying my future and for my career to advance
Myu parents tell me stories they have to endure
I wish racism was a sickness with a dose of medication to cure
Thankfully there are good hearted and educated people
Who can look beyond skin colour and treat us all as an equal
 If humans nver saw colour, what would it be like then
I am sure everyone would get along and call eachother friend
I hope my kids and the next generation never get to witness racism first hand
Let's pray for them racism was a issue in the past that no longer stands
Life is hard as it is, without the need of racism
Like supporting our family and giving our kids a good education
Ways to stop racism should begin at home and school
Getting along will be our greatest advantage, our strongest too
I did have people who I did call friends
But their own racist views meant our friendship had to end
It does not matter, if you're white, black or brown
You should feel safe to walk and talk in any town
To those facing racism, all I can say is be brave and stay strong
To those racist, deep down in your heart you must know it's wrong
God blessed us by putting us here, giving us all diffrent shades of colour
Were not meant to have the same colour skin, but we can all respect one another.


Racism
by:Emily Phan

Judged before I have been even given a chance
Delaying my future and for my career to advance
Some people have it bad and have to endure
I wish racism was like a sickness with a cure
Thankfully, there are good hearted people
Who can look beyond skin colour and treat us all as an equal
I did have people who I called friends
But their racist views meant our friendship had to end
It does not matter, if you're white, black, yellow or brown
You should feel safe to walk and talk in any town
Those who face racism, all I can say is be brave and stay strong
Those who are racist, you know deep down it's wrong
God blessed us by putting us here, giving us all diffrent shades of colour
Were not meant to have the same colour skin, but we can all learn to respect one another.

Inspiration: Racism is still around these days and I wanted to do a poem on racism to show how much racism could affect someone in many ways. I was lucky to have found a poem on racism.
