Racist Dichotomy And Democracy

Tell me more about democracy Nobody is a fool Tell me more about dichotomy Go ahead! I am cool Tell me more about racism Nobody is a tool Tell me more about fascism Tell me more lies about a rule For dark, darker people and another one For white people. You're not going to win This time, because your supercilious smile Is too obvious. Change promptly your style Because the world is watching, recording Talking, texting, chatting and complaining About overt racism. All borders are closed For Africans, Haitians and other minorities. But the gates Are wide open for others who have long or straight nose Oh! For others who are more civilized and more human Isn't it well known that God had created all men And women equal under the glaring and hot African sun Under the bright stars and under the daring and clear moon? Oh! The blood that flows in all human veins is red Not black, not white. And at night, we all need a bed To rest the body, to appease the soul. Tell me more Keep on lying to me and keep on closing the door On the face of my brothers and sisters. Now, it is obvious That the Democrats are as evil as the Republicans regarding Immigration for Haitians who are fleeing bad foreign policies Natural and governmental disasters, persecution, kidnapping Abject poverty, legal and illegal bandits, injustice and miseries Tell me more about freedom, liberty, justice and democracy Try to hypnotize me and neutralize me. Oh! What a dichotomy! You welcome the white ones with open arms, because of whom they are But there exists a perpetually undeclared and psychological war In the streets of the shanty towns of Haiti. Human beings are kidnapped And assassinated on a daily basis. No need to applaud or to clap Because I am telling the truth. At this juncture, the world wants equal Treatment for all the sons and daughters of God. The world wants justice And peace on Earth. In front of the gates of Hell, where the racists Will enter to be burnt and rotted, in front of the thick and tall Borders and parameters of Heaven, color does not exist Our God Almighty does not separate or discriminate Let's love sparkle and flourish and stop the culture of hate Tell me more about dichotomy Nobody is a fool Tell me more about democracy Go ahead! I am cool Keep on lying. Tell me more about diplomacy And I will tell you the truth about bigotry and hypocrisy.
