Racism & the Built Environment 

Racism causing insomnia

Surrounded by fake people

Networking with the alleged like-minded 

Yet divided by money

New vision turned a blind eye

To indigenous cultures and history

Gushing about beautifying the environment

Because no one supposedly lives there

Without seeing the existing community

Seeing a people isn’t the same

As engaging with a people

Apologies just won’t do

Restorative justice will

Both the so-called good neighborhoods

And the so-called bad neighborhoods

Were built on a foundation of racism

The 1920s roared with planned segregation

Nowadays it’s no longer segregation

It’s urban renewal

The only thing that’s new

Is the branding
