Demand me nothing. What you know, you know.

This is not because of a pandemic that discrimination is rearing its ugly head again
It was there all along under the surface in subtle and explicit ways
The opportune time and convenience is for the discriminator to hide behind an illness
Europeans and their descendants who are inhabitants of their pale skin the world over
Always find ways to elevate their supremacy above all others
Fascist feelings and attitudes married with other forms of racist attitudes
Never seem to be evicted and there is always a home for this vagabond
In the heart of those with deep seated hatred for those that don't look like them
Speak like them
Do things like them
Birds of a feather stick together
Blood is thicker than water
Closing ranks to anyone not worthy to be a member of the exclusive club
It just goes on and on
Separating and oppressing people to exploit them
Throughout history this disease continues to live on
It always survives every outbreak of the time
Long after the current corona virus departs
This pandemic will remain

Author's Note
After a thorough genuine examination of conscience privately, in time, make an act of contrition.

In this action one expresses sorrow, acknowledges wrongdoing and promises to amend one's life and avoid sin.
