I'm Not Racist Poem by Rifat Rahman

I'm not racist to support lower taxes
Nor Am I racist for my support of Law Enforcement
I'm not racist for not wanting everything to be free
I'm not racist because I'm not a socialist to be

I'm not racist because I believe in free-speech
Yet they want everything to be censored
Maybe even this poem; we shall see

Why am I racist for believing conservative values
Why am I racist for bearing my arms
Yet they call me racist for fighting for my guns

Why am I racist for not imagining gender
Why am I racist for believing two genders
Why am I racist for not wanting to play
He/Her/She/Him/Dog/Cat/Bat/Mat

I'm not racist for not wanting my city to be burned
I'm not racist for not wanting my freedom to be overturned
Why am I racist when I don't care about color
Yet I'm racist for not screaming Black Power

Its not racist to be pro-life
Why am I racist for not wanting to end a life
I'm not racist for believing the invisible hand
Yet all they want is for me to be an invisible man

Why am I racist for yet not mention race
Why am I racist to believe in God's Grace
Why are we racist for not being violent
Maybe it's a way to make us silent.
