Question:

How would you feel if you were hated for your skin color? I was raised in the south and never was prejudice?

How sad it must be to be afraid of the color black
you have to hurl words so ugly, cruel to show the
itelligence you lack.
Who are you to demean one of God's creations?
God made man in many colors, spread them across the nations.
How you twist that knife of words in the heart, soul so deep.
If you only knew how your hatred made God weep.
My heart is wrenched from my chest with tears
of shame of your foolish fears.
Tears flow down my face
trying to put myself in their place
I try to comprehend
being hated for the color of your skin
It is so horrible I would not know where to begin
My tears can fill every ocean, river, lake
but their's must fill the universe from the pain you make.
How can you go to bed, pray?
When God must turn His back on every ugly word you say.
When your day comes to stand before God what will you do
when he shows you the terrible pain you put the blacks through?
Turning His back, walking away you will finally feel
the pain you inflicted on the color black this day


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: This poem obviously had a powerful meaning for you personally. I feel ashamed of my species, that means everybody, for the way they act towards a person of another color than themselves. It's such utter ignorance, the way people will be sometimes, it blows me away.
A very well expressed poem as well.
