The deadliest disease

Posted by Terrence Johnson

An epidemic which affects billions across the world
A plague that has been present through the history of time
There must be a strand of this coded on our DNA
It seems to be inherited and passed from generation to generation
Each strand mutating into a stronger form each time
Causing tunnel vision and grandiosity to reside
A superiority complex in the grandest form
Many have fought against this disease
To treat and heal its sufferers
With every medication known to man
Yet it still remains
In anticipation of the next outbreak
Not only does it affect the carrier
It is spread into the environment
Infusing everything with darkness
Denial and rationalization are symptoms of this disease
The carriers refuse to be healed
Believing in their sick heart that they are correct
Through their egotistical eyes they are without fault
But everybody else is
Although they carry the disease
They avoid others like they are contagious
Worried that the truth will rub off on them
If only there was a cure
To release them from their state
Foolishly frozen forever
With the disease known as
Racism
