Transcend their teachings
hypocrisy ignored
Bigotry ingrained
without a thought as to the cause
See the college campus
encourage separate dorms
ethnic specific, "to unify"
Jim Crow would feel at home
See the house of worship
Doors open to all
So long as your likeness conforms
to those within its walls
So-called institutions
of higher learning and praise
inspire animosity
and mistrust amongst the race
Generations lost
fall in sync
to perpetuate the lies of their elders
this new-found normalcy
But
I will circumvent
Stifle the downward spiral
The mentally constipated
must learn to accept:
If divided we stand, then united we'll fall!
Into their trap
stratagem of old:
"divide and conquer."
That is their way
We won't comply
All is not for naught
we will teach
what we've been taught
So much more can be derived
from fraternizing with those
unlike yourself -
why would you limit yourself?
Reject the ignorance
Multi-culturalism
the dream of our forefathers
must not be forgotten
Those who fought
Those who died
Who paved the way
for us to try
To integrate
not separate
see what's within
not melanin
And all the churches
and universities
must stand against
this disease
All is not for naught
we will teach
what we've been taught
