    DISCRIMINATION IS NOT DEAD ITS DONE BEHIND CLOSE DOORS

    Society hates Mexicans
    Society hates Mexicans
    I cant remember when 
    I did not seem to care
    For you reason why 
    to me they are excuse and a bunch of  lies.
    I know these tears I cry  
    are form the beginning of my life
    I was condemned to die.
    Since I was born I was poor
    Our Sunday best 
    Were second hand 
    We lived in poverty 
    Like all the rest.
    Death was a way of living
    Crime was a way or giving.
    Now I’ am a father and wiser too
    I don’t live as before
    But to them I should not live anymore..

    Racism is evil and very much alive. It's not just you I'm perfectly white and people still give me the awkward looks because I'm a second hand kinda person and my dad is government paid aka not a rich girl. I couldn't care less what you look like the only thing i cant stand is Mexicans that refuse to speek english (this is america we speak english get with the program or leave).

    Racisim is alive and well in this country...the government and society refuse to admit to it because it is a " hot button topic" but i believe that the issue not only lies in " mexicans" being whats milking the system nor those who are poor....its more about those who really don't need the help but get it because they want to get as much as they can. they just don't " hate" mexicans. They hate anyone who is a minority...blacks, asians, hispanics, middle eastern, even something as simple as non christians....well spoken

    Sadly you're right, it is far from dead. I never saw a point to it personally, and always did my best to fight it when I saw it. I am sorry you grew up that way =(

    Madi I only write of me experience, what has happen to me what I know is true and what Ive seen in my life time Its not my feelings because I raise my children to love respect and to be polite towards.others always our different races is what makes this world an awesome place that we live amongst different nationalities.

    i understand My poems speak of situation in my life as i saw them felt them and lived them

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
