I'm tired of this

I'm tired of kids being racist,
I'm tired of teachers being supremacists,
I'm tired of life being a corporate game,
I'm tired of everyone being the same,

There is only so much that I can understand,
But what I don't get is how can one man,
Think he is superior because of his skin,
With this mind set my patience is wearing thin,

I can't stand these people and there bigotry,
So I'm on my hands and knees asking god to help me,
Asking him to change my skin color and make me white,
So I have to no longer be the underdog in this fight.

I don't want anymore superiority figures,
I just want this racism to whither,
Like a rose growing old, or a tree decaying,
One more thing, I am tired of saying,

The same damn thing over and over,
When will people be able to accept each other,
It doesn't matter what skin color they are,
If we can get over this problem...Humanity can go pretty far.

XTr3m3sT,

There you go Babe, keep on trucking. Always be proud of who you are.

I love the idea of this poem.
