The Problem We All Live With

by Khadeejah Jannah Khalid aged 9

The problem we all live with,
Never lets a hope get lit,

Doesn’t matter what colour of hair,
Why a different lair?

Doesn’t matter what colour of skin,
why a different seat on a bus?

Or a school or no food – it’s enough!
Racism’s so unfair!

The only thing we lack is the colour white,
The only thing you lack is the sense of right!

Why does my colour matter,
As the peace starts to shatter?

As our world is aflame,
Fueled my tears ,and your hate.

This fire will destroy us all,
Not just me, you’ll see!
