Not Today

Don’t call me
Don’t call him terrorist
Don’t call me
Don’t call him towelhead
We’ve had enough of your
Post 9/11 ignorance
Open your mind and shut your mouth
It makes all the difference
No more
Turning of blind eyes
No more
Racist stereotypes
Don’t judge me
By the shade of his skin
Don’t judge me
By his race or religion
It’s hard enough getting by
Without your help our interest
Your racist ideals are only
Your wrong opinion
No more
Turning of blind eyes
No more
Racist stereotypes
When will you get a fucking clue?
I won’t let it go
Or look the other way
Not this time, not on my watch
Not today
