There are few spoken word poetries on internet. Among them, I saw one impressive poem 'Unfinished'
This poem is about discrimination against black for a long time in their history.
Their pitiful life recalls a period of imperialism which I learned in history class.
How poor! The discrimination between black and white is loosen todays, but it still remains some regions.
I hope every kind of discriminations disappear in the world!
