Poetry: Racism

by Susie M. Arviso

Created on: November 21, 2010   Last Updated: May 19, 2011

Noticing racial differences

Not unnatural or bad

Yet thinking any race inferior

Is destructively, ignorantly sad


Race is not the reason

For what makes a one defective

It's darkness in the heart of man

Sin, that is infective


Race is not responsible

For what man does to man

It comes from within our natures

When flames of hate are fanned


Jesus died for everyone

No race lesser than another

He says to overcome evil with good

Not to hate your human brother


Race is not responsible

For the problems man endures

It's the sin nature in people's hearts

And Jesus is the cure
