Analysis of Impart
Racism
Is cynicism
It's a lesson
That is taught
A planted vile thought
Something that your mind has bought
In the beginning
Before we learned sinning
We had no idea
To hate one another
Everyone was our brother
Then as we grew
The lessons began
Of who to hate
What particular man
Be it color, culture or creed
We impart each other
With that wicked seed
That grows within us
Till the day we die
It's unnatural
To perpetuate such a lie
That your better than you or I
The cycle continues
From birth to death
A stabbing of hatred
With your last breath
Hatred is a hunger
That can't be fed
It is only full
When your dead
There is nothing further
To be said
It is simply where society
Wishes to be led
Eric (and sometimes not)
