Rid Racism,promote Peace!

Nature gave us a place to live
Air to breathe freely and fully
Flora and fauna to colour our lives
Land, sky and seas to travel too!
Aren’t we naive to waste this all?
Mankind’s on the brink of survival
There’re calamities and disasters
The world reels shock after shock
History’s never seen such turmoil
Chaos and selfishness rule us now
Broken hopes and promises too
Ethics and morals much tested
May respect for law and justice
Be the way forward everywhere
Let’s move forward and onward
Let’s respect each other hence
Promote Peace to strive to thrive
Rid racism now once and for all
Red is our blood that gives us life
White or black we are all human Racially speaking, Man or Woman!
