Racism Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

the cold emotion of a species
fuming in rage against God
who allowed colour to appear
and multiplied races among nations
in a spectrum of light
where colours merge and dissolve
into one human species

the cold emotion of a species
with clouded eyes
that sees only black and white
declaring war against a species
that thrives in the diversity of its colours
the flowers that shape nations
blossoming in their millions
into one human species

the cold emotion of a species
with no logical explanation
with no religious extrapolation
with no physical justification
with no spiritual destination
