Racial Conceit a work of Poetry by Aliel (Virtual Reality) I wrote this last year for an assignment i was given to explore the different points of veiw people have. My skin is not my choice We can't choose our parents or our nationality or our skin colour So why take it out on me? The chocolate brown of my skin So different from your own Builds barriers from your fear and insecurity Fear of something different; Something alien to your culture your genes your lifestyle Is it not so that we are all born equal? And yet still you look down on me And speak in condecending tones Through a self imposed haze of ignorance Created on Mon, 26 Jan 1998 and last modified on Tue, 27 Jan 1998.
