Discrimination by Whitney Osburn

Discrimination by Whitney Osburn
 
Discrimination an incredible word,
We see it every day,
Which makes it seem ok,
 
We are all just people,
All humans here on Earth,
 
We may have different skin colors,
And a different voice,
 
But we are all people,
And that’s what matters most.
 
It shouldn’t matter where someone site,
Or where they eat,
Where they bathe,
 
Can’t we all just get along,
Discrimination should be far gone.

by Kenneth Rexroth

I don't mind the human race.
I've got pretty used to them
In these past twenty-five years.
I don't mind if they sit next
To me on streetcars, or eat
In the same restaurants, if
It's not at the same table.
However, I don't approve
Of a woman I respect
Dancing with one of them. I've
Tried asking them to my home
Without success. I shouldn't
Care to see my own sister
Marry one. Even if she
Loved him, think of the children.
Their art is interesting,
But certainly barbarous.
I'm sure, if given a chance,
They'd kill us all in our beds.
And you must admit, they smell.
