Look At Them

I will let this poem speak for its self

Look at them
 
Look at them laugh
Look at them play
Look at them run
But don't let them hear you, they will strip you of your laugh.
 
Love them for the work they do
Hate them for the work they cause
 
See them cry
See their pain
See their joy
Tears they cry for the lost way of their world
 
Look at them free
Look at them unchained
Look at the animals
Look at the savages
The wise yet uneducated. The monkeys that walk up right.
 
Look into their eyes
Look at their smiles
Look at their hands
At their feet
At their faces
Bodies put through torture for the gain of property
 
Run from them
Hide from them
Scold them
Hit them
Hurt them
The creatures with dark skin that can't feel
 
Keep them
Feed them
Clothe them
Teach them
Train them like dogs so they are obedient.
 
Rape them
Steal them
Take them again and again
They a perfect tools for mass production
 
Break them
Destroy them
Burn them
Hang them
 
Damn them for needing the air to breathe.
Damn them for needing
 
Love them for their work
Hate them for the work they cause

This has racial undertones.. When I read this I think of slaver, the holocaust, assimiliation. I enjoyed this immensely. There is mis-education and chains on the heart, brain-washing of the mind.
