FUCKING RACIST
Fucking Racist
You are so twisted
In your anger
So full of hate
Coz of his country of origin
The colour of her skin
So let down and hurting
You’re needing someone to take it out on
Someone to emotionally kick in
And so you thought you’d blame him
And you know you should love
Your fellow brethren
You know you should love them all
But that rage keeps burning and blistering
And you really find it hard listening
Coz no one ever listened to YOU
Open mindedness
Open mindedness
Guardian reading
Middle class liberal blindness
You’re fighting to unite
Fighting to keep on the good fight
But you know now, right?
YOU know this, surely you know this right?
Our comrades from other nations
There is no decree
For their skin colour, sexuality, ethnicity
Or the myriad of other physical manifestations
They are but yet another reason for celebration
Of our humanity, openness,
Shining love and kindness
But if you cross that line mate
If you choose to delineate
To call my friend
Shout her down,
Hoping in a hopeless bid to send her home
I will call you
Racist
Bully
Xenophile
And when I’m really angry
A Mother-Fucking Nazi
We know a bully is a scared person, right?
Open mindedness
Open mindedness
Compassion, love
And sweet loving kindness
You know mate, I am liberal
You know I embrace
But when it comes to you mister
I do well on hate
I want you to accept
I want you to be like me
Swimming in the delicious arms
Of succulent loving humanity
I forbid you to build walls
I forbid you to feel pain
You must reach your arms forward
You must be wise when you complain
But you’re not like me
You’re not morally superior
You’re not blessed with my privilege
And let’s face it,
You make me fucking angry
So I cast you out here
I sit you
On the other side of the wall
My compassion here
Finds it’s limits
My kindness starts to fall
You will be open-minded, just like me
But I warn you,
It is conditional
We all know a bully is a scared person. Right?
I wonder if I can see your pain
Your fear
Your heavy, exhausted heart
Whether the cage that you clasp
Around it so tightly, will let me peek through
Years of being pushed out
Pushed about
We don’t know whence this came
But I see your disenfranchisement
Your powerless
Your utter, utter sense of let down-ness
And a vengeful need to blame
Your weren’t born racist my friend
Unlike the skin born unto our brothers and sisters
Who you attribute your misery to
And I will stand by and defend
Each and everyone of them
My friend
As, I will by you
Open mindedness
Open mindedness
Breaking down the walls
In the hope
Love will come and find us
Your learned this my friend
From bullies bigger than thee
Using others for their greed
Seeking power at their ego’s need
Seeking power to rule and divide
I will not tolerate
The lies they perpetuate
Yet too I will not castigate
For the rawness of your feeling
And I won’t stigmatise
As you seek to do to others
Coz we’re bigger than this. Right?
I’m going to put down my armoury
Put down my moral fight
But I want you to take responsibility
Of this punishing mentality,
It’s unashamed brutality
Hmm?
I can’t change you
Until I change me
I can’t unite you and I,
Stand in solidarity
Until I untie me
From the division that serves others
Far, far too well
So this mother fucking
War on Terror
From 9/11 to yours and mine front door
No more!
Open mindedness
Open mindedness
Knocking down walls
Locked deep down inside us
Open mindedness
Open mindedness
I pray you will help come guide us
We all know a bully who was a scared person, right?
Please no longer lock her in a corner
We all know she’ll only come back
With a far bigger bite
