Discrimination Station
This is a Train Station where all hopes and dreams lay to rest
The best are at the front–dirty losers at the back
If you are not white, light, or otherwise ‘right’
If there is something you lack, go to the back!
This line is not for you, you, or you.
But it is for two–married couple with child? Fair skinned? Step up.
The only fair you will ever see is a fantasy of free
Since you are nothing but fancy-free
And the first ones to get noticed are always first in line
Oh, it is half past nine! The train is leaving!
No room for you, but ah! You look as if you belong in the loo.
Disabled? Dreidel-ed? Da child of the wild? No chance.
You will never enhance our finance in any glance, you are nothing but bad
Get out, for there are other routes for you to been had.
