God gave us colours in our daily routine,

That clear blue sky and the fields of green,

The colours of the mammals the life in the seas,

Our rainforest habitat they're all there to please.

All colour's a gift for us all to enjoy,

Yet it's also an issue we can use to destroy,

This travesty is unique to the human race,

That we can judge another by the colour of their face.

Racism is prevalent wherever you travel,

it's a problem the scientists have failed to unravel,

We claim to love colour but that's strictly not true,

If you're the wrong shade there could be trouble for you.

We claim we're intelligent but nuance is still used,

As a reason for hatred an excuse to be abused,

If only we could accept we are what we are,

Racism would die we'd be on an equal par.

If we don't fight back our culture they'll smother,

there's no colour on Earth is superior to another,

Under all our skins we're exactly the same,

Just trying to survive in life's great game.

Those evil people who use our colour to fight,

Don't give a damn about what's wrong or right,

The only message they are trying to convey,

Is you'll do what you're told you do not have a say.

They claim their saviour inspires hostile intent,

that's a message that's certainly not Heaven sent,

The good Lord above wants us all to believe,

These people are evil they live to deceive.

Religion and colour are attributes to cherish,

Treat them with contempt and we'll all surely perish,

Regardless of colour you must always stay proud,

that's a statement of fact so say it out loud.

Gods message to us all is we're exactly the same,

regardless of fortune or meaningless fame,

if we believe to his heaven we will ascend,

those who refuse to hell they'll descend.

Our creators teachings are of peace not war,

Killing and maiming we know he'd abhor,

When the bigots and racists are held to account,

The crimes they committed they will never surmount.

The God who presides over them what colour will he be,

What will he look like very soon they will see,

there's none of them know but they're in for a shock,

As they stand there silent to be judged in his dock.

A voice from afar said I've a message for you ,

 it's not much to ask to myself to stay true ,

but you have ignored this by your discriminatory actions,

you refused to disown all these evil factions.

From out of the shadows the good Lord did appear,

He said let me make it abundantly clear,

I created you in my image with differing shades,

Your abuse of my colours now that's what really degrades.

As you are bigots and racists this does not augur well,

For your crimes every one of you is destined for hell,  

The racists from every culture stood rooted and overawed,

For standing there in judgement was,
