Ancestral beings of cultural divides,

Grown rampant in strange places,

Of heartless origin, in thoughtless action,

Weary to the idea of embraces.

 

Grudging darkness bound by light,

United in fantasies of desperate clamors.

Broken nails of maritime transports,

Unraveled disdain of illuminated hammers.

 

Light ironically grew colorful,

Rays of unabashed emerald,

Shone brightly to heartless mammals,

But dully to what heartless resembled.

 

Unalterable rays of past reject waiver,

Reaching everlasting states of anxieties.

The deteriorating power of light,

Falsified by undeserving deities.

 

Empowering of false conduits,

Unaware of their fraudulence.

Ideological development of superiority,

Capitalizing on ideas of ignorance.

 

A salty stench of modern giants,

Overpowers those of sugar and spice,

Forcibly worn on darkened souls,

From cruel ancestors who play nice.

Thanks for reading. The power of ancestry nowadays is all the more prevalent with the recent showings of racism in Charlottesville and with unjust killings by police officers that more and more seem to be based in large part on the skin color of the people they see. Some white people believe that they have this superiority over other races, and that is blatantly false. The fact that all this is going on is crazy and the fact that people in media can’t defend it is furthering the insanity. I do want to say that I do not believe our recent President promoted racist individuals to act as ignorantly as their beliefs. I believe it has indirectly come about as an unexpected and unfortunate outcome of lastly having an African-American president. The unjust actions of these racist individuals should be unacceptable in any society, but especially in one that promotes ideas of diversity and acceptance.
