[Old and Unreadable] Max's Thought-Provoking Poetry

Epidemical Discrimination

1400, 1300, possibly earlier than even that
Was when the accursed epidemic found its first victim
Creeping crawling, slaves were taken
And the irreversible disease spread far and wide
In every institution, babbling away in every marketplace
In every school, floating around the hallways
In every street, causing death and horror
In your own home, the invisible cloud of despair

Racial discrimination it has been dubbed
Subtle and deadly, secretly praised
It's spores spread through the air blown by fear and prejudice
And in grows and festers inside a person
Creating false senses of entitlement and privilege
Over the few who only want to fit in
A disease so contagious it moves like wildfire
Many babies come into the world infected, born liars

But every epidemic should have a cure, especially one so large
But still after so many years, its presence eludes many
Education and awareness seem so simple
Yet are rejected by so many poor, poor infected
The act of identifying and neutralising can be done
Slowly but surely, an irradiation
Take it upon yourself to save those the epidemic selected
But first look at yourself: Are you infected?
