A Shield is distorted with hateful sign’s of anguish
  as bullets of intense heat thrust through,
  innocent yelps become a cowardly cry.


Vulgarity screams with a distasteful sigh,
  as soured shadows follow blindfold souls
  with colors of skin equaling flashbulbs of hate.

Blackness begins keen to a cave of unknowing fear,
while fields of tainted souls overcast the innocent,
cries of equality are incinerated in the backs of slaves.

Shattered hearts are scattered, forever lost
  as realization becomes a painful welcome,
to a  doormat for unjust hate to be stomped upon.

Overseen by color; dissolved in a pool of equality,
eyes are engraved with hateful intentions,
restore morality, hate only a futuristic idea.

Engulf ideas of refreshing scents,
as love supersedes the trials of hate
only to see colors of skin becoming a mere illusion.

Feelings Intertwine with one another
as leaves of color slowly descend on the free fall
paleness becomes a suit for all.

Spectacles of white float effortlessly on the ground
Bliss a sanctuary for all

I once read a story where a person wished all racism was gone.When he woke up the next day everybody was grey and they all looked alike.I don't think I would like living in a world filled with grey people.

this was a very good poem. i've alwayz alwayz alwayz had a problem with poeple who are racist. i just think it's so stupid and immature, and really really degrating. i'm glad there are some decent people out there. sometimes tho, when i meet up with the racist poeple out there i just wish they could spend the day in the shoes of those who's lives they make so difficult and maybe they would realize how very wrong that actually are. lol, sorry, i kinda get worked up on a topic i feel strongly about.... but, this was really good and you write very well. good job hun.
