This activity was intriguing to me as I was able to read through many different poems and learn different outlooks on racism through different people. I liked being able to share my thoughts about racism and how bad I want it to end. This assignment was beneficial to me and I am glad we are learning more about racism. It is preparing me for how to keep it out of my future classroom, and teaching me how to be accepting of people as a whole.

Alexandra Goebel:
Of human ignorance I am almost in despair
For racism is around me everywhere
But like they say sheer ignorance is bliss
Just like Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss.
Some people carry their honour in a flag
And of their Nationality they brag
They feel superior and they differentiate
And against those who are different they discriminate.
So many people still judged by their race
For such there never ought to be a place
'A fair go' those untruthful words I do recall
There is no such a thing as a 'fair go for all'.
Though we live in a so called democracy
Of racism we never will be free
They judge you by where you come from and the colour of your skin
For many equality and respect seems impossible to win.
It's been awhile since the days of Martin Luther King
His name to it has a familiar ring
If against racism he did not choose to strive
Today the great man he would be alive.
So many holding the reins of power not spiritually aware
And racism is around me everywhere
And racism only leads to division and war
Just goes to show how ignorant some are.
Racism Is Around Me Everywhere

We all must bring our

Racism to end.

A message to all, I long to send.

The colors of the world,

All join as one.

For the Lord is our shepherd,

And we as his son.

Christ made all man in the

Likes of him.

So please let us all, "End Racism".

Robert M Hensel

“I don’t care if you’re black, yellow, or green. I only see people as people” (Smith. 2014. pg. 315.)

This connects with my poem because it should not matter what color someone is, we should all join as one and end racism as the poem stated.

“My purpose wasn’t to clarify race, but to blow it apart” (Smith. 2014. pg. 321.)

This connects to my poem because we do not want to continue separating society by race, but rather end racism and realize we are all made in God’s image and we are not to be clarified by the color of our skin. We are all people and should be seen as so. We want to blow apart racism, and like the poem states, end racism.
