A DARKNESS THAT LURKS

Daily Poetry Prompt #47: “Racism”

My rights enable me to move freely around

and breathe the fresh air on the ground.

Life is meant to be unfettered and free

never to be humiliated but spread humanity.

The world with its global dimensions

color, culture and beliefs

can offer an abundance

of love and harmony.

I look for a world

devoid of all its darkness

A cankerous sore that spreads.

Let’s wipe out antagonism

and spread peace instead.

XOXO

G
