I...externalize myself from the statements Expressed by those with unilateral sentiments This world in which we live is clouded with cynics using imagery To pervade a sense of unity of which I know is strictly mimicry.
Media attention draws to us a vision of antagonistic elements The ideologies imprinted in memory are of violence, racial tension, and discriminatory existence. Anger, pain, strife...isolation Socially created by the media through music, magazines, television...all a sense of racial dislocation.
The ancestral lineage that socially categorizes me Is a sense of human division, created in history by society. In essence, we all form a nexus of what is defined as the human race When faced with cultural differences, how can it be we feel displaced?
Language, voice, customs...the essence of our world, our nations. The melting pot boils HOT, as we add new cultural fuel to the fire of assimilation Burning RED with discrimination! The world in which we live, is no longer BLACK and WHITE The star spangled banner should be a multicolored banner where all races can unite!
The communal revolution of the past has brought about social evolution Yet, we still fail to prevail and bring about a constructive solution To the stereotypical criticisms we portray one to another We thrive on competition among our sisters and our brothers
When will we arrive at the day of equal justice? When freedom, rights, and neutrality, will diminish hate and prejudice The phenotypic image is the focus of the eye We must be blind to the design and build on positive social paradigms.
