Discrimination

by Ismail Sayeh aged 14

In a world of people, different and unique,
Sometimes fear and ignorance speak.
Skin colors vary, shades diverse,
Yet some hearts hold a bias, perverse.

Judging others by the color of skin,
A shallow act that lets no one win.
Racism’s poison, a toxic flow,
Dimming the light that love can show.

But let’s strive for a world that’s fair,
Where kindness triumphs over despair.
Break the chains that hatred forges,
Build bridges instead of divisive gorges.

In unity, strength we find,
A simple truth for all mankind.
Let understanding and empathy bloom,
To erase the shadows of a prejudiced gloom.
