Scared of walking through this town filled with hate
Hate in their minds
Hate in their hearts
Hate in their very existence.
Built upon years of power and greed
Enslaved by their own mentality
Thoughts iron shackles to their mind's eye.
Gold was their sign for salvation
Now black their hell
Created not by the ones who weep in cracked brown earth
But by pure white dictated by the green of possessions.
Brown emerged with forced intercourse
An addition to oppress and dictate with pleasure
Privilege now white
Free from rule and subjugation.
Shades glistening in the yellowed sun
Partitions black, white and brown from water coolers
Red pumps viscous in skin underneath
Bleeds the same on opened skin.
A rainbow town filled with shared history
Binds together in hate and evil
Colours once joined in fairytales
Now divided in human reality.
Scared of walking through this town filled with hate
Hate in their minds
Hate in their hearts
Hate in their very existence
And now hate in my own soul.
