Kick Racism Out Poem by Johnny Eardley

If we really want to make a massive change,
There are some things we need to rearrange.

If we want the problems to actually stop,
We must do a clean sweep, bottom to top.

Start at grass roots, show them whats right,
It dosnt matter if your black or your white.

There should be no problem with religion or creed,
Racism in football, there really is no need.

At the highest level, deal with it severly,
So they understand, it will cost them dearly.

Too many people get away with an excuse,
For what we all know is actual abuse.

Your skin dosnt make you less of a man,
Anyone who thinks so deserves their ban.

They dont deserve to be on a pitch,
No matter if they are poor or rich.

We need to teach youngsters what the game is about,
Its what you do with the ball, not what you shout.

You beat a man with a passage of play,
You dont beat him down with the words you say.

A player aint defined by the colour of his hair,
He's defined by his strength, his power, his flair.

Until we get on top of this, face the facts,
Then were gonna have problems and people will react.

So as a unit we must no longer endure,
Stop making and excuses and accept it no more.

Together as one we must stand and shout,
This is all of our game, Kick Racism Out
