Racial Prejudice

From within those murky realms,
An image is displayed –
A Black man and his child,
No food, no home to stay.
Your conscience says to give,
Your mind says something else,
“These two are Black, yet you are white,
They can help themselves.”
What’s the answer to an issue,
Destroying our Holy Land?
The solution to our prejudice,
Is linking coloured hands.
We must address this issue,
The power lies in you.
Get out and lend a helping hand,
Be brave and dare to do.
