Racism in America

The plague of Racism is a danger that haunted most lands,
More so America through its existence as one of the free nations.
Has it changed after the heyday of Civil Rights Movement?
Many pundits have offered opinions, explanations and accusations.

But is there truly an accurate picture of the perspective of these racists?
Are they simply hateful and nothing more?
The modern equivalent to the KKK of old continues to exist,
Who once proclaimed "Segregation Forever" and screamed bloody gore.

Why then don't the politicians and the law makers take definitive actions?
The sad truth is that they themselves give an edge to certain factions.
Affirmative Action is a law that separates races and causes the country to divide,
They stir up a social storm instead of controlling the rising tide.

Racism is deeply rooted and so is animosity amongst races,
But no one will let the issue dissolve, it is promoted on a daily basis.
Quell the threat of a civil war, already open are the flood gates,
Let not the plague of racism ruin your prosperity,Wake up United States!
