Only one race

Friday,18th Feb 2022

Only one race was famous in ancient times

martial races who ruled all the time

raised empires and razed to the ground

swayed over the largest chunk of territories and found the best good name

they had reason to feel

and rule at the will

keeping subjects under control

and call them inferior

they not only made them slaves

but behaved

very badly with their honor

these things occurred all the times

with white skin and black skin

there had never been

the scene of harmony

and many nations were occupied already

some races felt superior

and made others inferior

they compelled them to suffer insults

and built them to remain so

With the rise of discontent and nationalism

the racism became the famous phrase

Symbolizing with the oppressed people

who formed armed groups to wage a struggle

so much bloodshed and poverty

no end was in sight with their misery

the current generation undergoes the feeling of shame

And, blames it on the rich countries.

This may go off gradually

as it has been declared internationally

the generations, this after, may know their forefathers plight

and they, too, shall strengthen their fight to attain the right place

this is not only the blot on the humanity

but shame on the entire world and must be condemned universally

the race and classes have no place to find on this heavenly earth

as an almighty has sent you free on birth and to go also free on death
