From Racsism to friendship

This poem on racism was written because of the many things I have seen in my life. Racism comes from all colors and being a racist does not mean its bad to be different or want to hang out with those you are most comfortable with but means that you think and treat those who are not your same race or color as being or having less value. Racism poetry is not written enough for my liking and I would love to it more prevalent in the poetry community.

Worlds apart they called one another a name,
"Sand nigger" spoken with text from a man enraged,
"Nigger" and Infidel spoken back with eager spit out anger,
The unknown not known with both seeing danger,

For years they had yelled and argued till one day they met,
Faces beat red as anger was kept in their head with few words said,
Their wives brought them together to understand and to change,
To finally break down barriers so their differences were less strange,

They sat across from each other with eyes in a stare and smiles absent and lost,
"Your religion is evil Jim spoke as words began to be tossed,
"My Religion is based on Love and life and being kind and helpful to those in need"
Then why are you yelling unless you plant lies just like seeds,

As they argued Cindy started to cry,
Jims baby girl had big tears rolling from her eyes,
Then she looked at her father and looked at his so called friend,
"If you cant get along this world is soon doomed to an end",

She ran from the room and away to find a place to weep,
a quiet place to hide while racism speaks,

But both men soon saw themselves from a little girls view,
Maybe we should start with a shake instead of acting like fools,
So Jim held out a hand but with a cautious reach,
And Omar grasped hard grasping as if his hand was a leach,

A mans shake finally to start a peace among few,
Apologies changed and accepted while friendship over the years grew,

Now Jims daughter is married to Omar's son,
both children in love with each other and lives filled with fun,

Heads of houses now think before they speak,
Racism cleansed from minds once out of reach....
