Disgracing the Human Race!

Their images are on monies exchanged.
Their images are on TV screens.
And magazines read...
Everywhere they are seen.
The media and entertainment industries,
They control.
Is there a sport not judged,
By rules they impose?

What jobs are not obtained,
Through nepotism whims?
And 'who' is hired last...
To fulfill a window dressing,
Just to say, 'We have some of 'them''!

And these folks try to pretend,
There is no racism felt!
Or none within them?
Known that is dealt.
Or expressed to suppress,
The happiness of someone else!

And then try to accuse others...
For racist tactics they've been known to begin!
To compare themselves,
As if they have something to prove OR win!

If truth is going to be faced...
Let's eliminate the masquerades.
And all of the charades that have taken place...
Much longer than the proclaimed decades,
This disgracing of the human race has played!

'I'm looking at the Man In the Mirror.
I'm asking him to change his ways...! '

Note:
'Man In the Mirror'
Song introduced and performed by...
Michael Joseph Jackson.
Savant
