TRUTHFULNESS OF THE WORLD
Bare eyes that see; words that
speak
Vast discrimination of humanity
Insensible minds that lead
Continuously circulating
Over these cold-blooded cycle
Thus, present of the past
They were screaming for the parity
of the world
Justifying that color is just a
color!
And what more vital is the
benevolence
To the so-called Mankind.
So, today and tomorrow
We should seek within our hearts
Candidly speak for the truthfulness
Eradicate the blindness of the fools
And finally, for a brighter
forthcoming
Let this world hail for the truth;
T’was created for all the colors;
glaring through the heritage of the given life.
SPECTRUM OF KNOWLEDGE
LIVE LOVE AND BE A KHRU
Roaming around the area of
existence
Here in the land of smiles,
We’re part of their system
Voices from the arrows of compass
Living for pleasure or making a
living
Elsewhere, uttering “sawa dee”
In the city of unified cultivation;
Earning the “wais” for Khru.
Spectrums of living souls,
Acquiring the ways of foreign territory;
savoir – faire indeed!
Pedagogically wandering;
Sharing the utterance of
diversified elocution
Treasuring the warm welcome,
Regardless of our colors.
DISCOURSE OF A COMMONER
Through the years of deprivation
From the primitive descendants of
laborers,
Til the contemporaneous world of
bigotry
Men of dignity carried by their
souls,
Enduring, agonizing and
substantiating
The argument of acceptance; haven’t
attained
From these hide bounded
civilization
Scream! Be awaken! Declare!
And now, the time has come
Embrace the changes;
Obtain the humane victory!
Let the love unified all races of
ages
Open our eyes to see,
Black is a color of beauty.
Consciousness of equality must
prevail.
This is a discourse of a commoner
That desires for the genuine
essence of humanity.

This is really worth my time.
ReplyDeleteI think discrimination is just a tool to maintain division among the masses keeping the majority occupied with hatred against another. We are all but one race which is humanity. I wish one day people will be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

Thank you :) I believed that we are all created equally!
DeleteIn the modern society we have, discrimination and social segregation is becoming an ill system of some.

LABELS ARE FOR CANS NOT TO PEOPLE! Race, Gender, Color, Religion or Economic Status are not the basis of respect! Acknowledgment and acceptance is
