Time runs, it’s coarse like sand Ruthless and unforgiving Indifferent to colour or land In the digital age we lose track and sight Of the reason that we are living Racial boundaries are kept intact To privilege we turn a blind eye Though we hide behind hashtags we forget the fact In life we are raised to compete But traditions make us lose our race While we chase others to make us complete In desperation we keep hold of our wealth and justify reasons to save After our lives are over, everything we have we’ll lose All we have that’s guaranteed is our deep cold grave So why not open up our hearts to those who cannot choose But live their lives day to day Praying to make it through. - Note: In today’s current climate it is more important than ever to be kind, let’s al together swallow our pride and shine a light on the injustices that are plaguing our world. Deep cultural stereotypes and beliefs that have found their ways into our lives need to be addressed. We must hold ourselves accountable to how we choose to live our own lives, if we all do our bit to challenge the norms we can together one day defeat racism and injustice for all. We may well be the only sentient beings out there in the universe, so let us celebrate the sanctity of our life as the ONE, HUMAN race. Let’s celebrate our diversity and the fact that we are all different, if we were all the same we wouldn’t be where we are today. I hope this piece touched you in some way, thank you for reading.
