Racial Harmony is Good
Being Racist is Bad
We must cover up bad things with a hood
Never make anyone sad

Always treat people nicely
Be gentle and kind
Always act wisely
Always use your mind

You must always bind
With the people of the right kind
Everyone is different in a way
Some want to be nice some want to be mean

I would not want to be seen with a person so mean
It is great to be good to people
Just do not fool them
You would not want to hurt their heart
For that is not smart

Racial Harmony is Good
But Being Racist is Bad
