Systemic And Systematic Racism

Racism is both systemic and systematic Racism is a systemic and endemic cancer Racism is a very painful and odious chancre Covid-19 is both systemic and systematic Black people have been under attack For many centuries, it is time to react Because we are fed up, we're tired Of being oppressed. There's too much hatred We're sick of the overt and covert bias We can no longer stand for the chaos Society needs to clean up the mess We're tired of the pandemic racism And the systemic and systematic racism We're tired of the pandemic viruses And the systemic and systematic viruses Las Casas was a killer, not a protector Of human rights or human dignity Las Casas was a cancer, not a Monsignor Who stood for justice and equality Black lives matter and everybody matters We are not cowards, we are fighters We will die for justice and freedom We'll protest, fight and we shall overcome.
