Constructions of Society
by Particia Paz Moya
I...externalize myself from the statements
Expressed by those with unilateral sentiments
This world in which we live is clouded with cynics using imagery
To pervade a sense of unity of which I know is strictly mimicry.
Media attention draws to us a vision of antagonistic elements
The ideologies imprinted in memory are of violence, racial tension, and
discriminatory existence.
Anger, pain, strife...isolation
Socially created by the media through music, magazines, television...all a
sense of racial dislocation.
The ancestral lineage that socially categorizes me
Is a sense of human division, created in history by society.
In essence, we all form a nexus of what is defined as the human race
When faced with cultural differences, how can it be we feel displaced?
Language, voice, customs...the essence of our world, our nations.
The melting pot boils HOT, as we add new cultural fuel to the fire of
assimilation
Burning RED with discrimination!
The world in which we live, is no longer BLACK and WHITE
The star spangled banner should be a multicolored banner where all races
can unite!
The communal revolution of the past has brought about social evolution
Yet, we still fail to prevail and bring about a constructive solution
To the stereotypical criticisms we portray one to another
We thrive on competition among our sisters and our brothers
When will we arrive at the day of equal justice?
When freedom, rights, and neutrality, will diminish hate and prejudice
The phenotypic image is the focus of the eye
We must be blind to the design and build on positive social paradigms.
