If You Can See: A Speak Out against Racism

If you can see him like your brother

His colour won’t cause you to bother.

You’ll treat him with care

You’ll try to be fair.

 

If you can see her like your sister

You’ll mind how you treat her.

You’ll assist and not assault her

You’ll protect and not plunder her.

 

If you can see him like your brother

You’ll defend and not destroy him

You’ll stand by him and not against him

You’ll show him love and not care less.

 

If you can see her like your sister

You’ll love her like your mother 

And not murder her like the others.

You’ll help her stay safe outside

And not force your way inside.

 

If you can see him like your brother

You’ll know you’re from the same Father. 

You’ll be a life Saver

Rather than act like a Smother.

 

If you can see her like your sister

You should watch her grow and not groan 

Help her rise and glow 

And not lead her six feet below.

 

Poem Description

This poem speaks out against racism, rape, and calls for respect. It urges us to see people in a new, kinder light. If we could look beyond surface differences and truly understand one another, we would think twice before judging or hurting others. By fostering empathy and compassion, we can treat people with the dignity they deserve, regardless of their race, gender, or background. Only then can we begin to create a world where respect and kindness reign, free from prejudice and violence. Let’s open our hearts and minds and change the way we treat each other.
