Racism has a human heart....
Racism has a human heart, Racism is part of some people
An artery of cruelty & death, Racism is cruel and can lead to death
It has blood of anger, & evil…, Racism has a bad history
Has a force of pain & antipathy. Causes pain and is filled with hatred
Racism has a human mind…. Racism can be just as painful mentally
An Intellect of terror & delusion, A thought of terror and delusion
Has an emotion of extreme savage Has an emotion of extreme violence
Imagination of vile ideas, macabre. Thoughts of horrid ideas and hate
Racism has a human mouth, Racism can be spoken
It has tongue of torture, depravity, Racism’s words hurt and deprive
Many teeth of brutal incision & kill Used to hurt and kill
Has a lip of sorrow, hate & death. Racism is sadness hate and death

Analysis
Racism Has a Human Heart by John G. Nelson relates to To Kill a Mockingbird. In the poem it talks about racism being a part of people in their heart, in their minds, and in the way they talk. These are all characteristics of the people of Macomb County. Jacob Cesils shows this when he says Atticus is a n****r lover. This Poem talks about how racism is manipulating and how it hurts people mentally and physically. When Tom Robinson was in the county jail some men came to hurt and potentially kill him, but these were farmers that were good people about to make a bad decision. It took a little girl (Scout) to pull their heads out of the clouds, and unintentionally make them relies what they were about to do was wrong.
This is a Truth
This is a truth this is the truth
That applies to the human race, that is given to all people
Yet to no particular race of men: to no one kind of man
You never really understand a person, you don’t get a person
Until you consider things from his point of view, until you see what he sees
Climb inside of his skin; get into his seeing of the situation
And walk around in it. And keep looking in it
One thing that doesn't abide, one thing that doesn’t follow
By majority rule; by the majority rule
A person's conscience. Person’s thoughts
It was times like these it was times like these
When; when
You rarely win, you don’t usually win
Only children weep, only children wine
The dead bury the dead, let the conflicts go away
One does not love breathing,
And there’s just one kind of folks: there’s just one kind of people
Folks. People
I don't pretend to understand, I don’t pretend to get it
Why reasonable people, why reasonable people
Go stark raving mad,
Simply because they're still human; simply because there still human
That the one place, that the one place
Where a man ought to get a square deal, a man may get a fair deal
Is in a courtroom, is in a courtroom
Be he any color of the rainbow. May he be any race
It was times like these, it was times like these
That, that
Food comes with death, happiness comes with death
Flowers with sickness, innocent things that get hurt
And little things in between; and little things in between
Two soap dolls, two soap dolls
A broken watch and chain, a broken watch and chain
A pair of good-luck pennies, a pair of good- luck pennies
And our lives. And our lives
It made me sad. It makes me sad
Yet delete the adjectives, delete the add- ons
And I'd have the facts; and I’d have the facts
It’s a sin to kill a mockingbird. It’s really bad to harm the innocent
Analysis
This poem relates to To Kill a Mockingbird because it talks about racism and how it can hurt people. This poem talks about how all men are created equal and there no one kind of man just man. This poem relates specifically by the way the African- Americans were treated. They were treated like dirt and even when the court case should have been innocent he was still guilty after all of the hard evidence. The book also relates back by talking about how scout saw the African-American people just as people not just as black but normal people. The poem is no different than the book really it works around the whole moral of the story. The poem talks about racism and so does the book, and they both go very deep into the thought talking about how everybody is created equal and there is no one better race. The poem at the very end talks about how it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird. That’s saying that it’s a really bad thing to hurt the innocent, and the book talks about the same thing saying that Tom Robinson was innocent he did nothing wrong. Jem did nothing wrong to, but Mr. Ewell still ended up breaking his arm and almost injuring Scout. Scout went with Jem and Dill to where Atticus was protecting Tom Robinson and she had no idea of what was going on, she had no idea what rape meant or what any of the curse words everybody was saying meant she wasn’t corrupted yet.
Too Much of a Good Thing
‘Too much of a good thing may be bad' to much of good may be bad As the old cliché' goes as the cliché goes
So always do things in moderation do things in little steps
Just like The Lord of Heaven knows just like god know
The blessings of God are great the blessing of god is great
As anyone can clearly see as anyone can see
And when done in moderation and when is steps
We all can live quite free we all can live free
That's the common sense He gave us that’s the sense he gave us
Each and every one everyone
So practice it in our own ways practice it in our own ways
And His blessings will fill our days he blesses us a lot
Now that does not mean to take doesn’t mean to steal
The middle of the road each time the middle of the road
That just means to do what's right do what’s right
And give glory to His name give glory to his name
For one will get smashed standing one will get smited
In the middle of the road in the middle of the road If one fails on which side to stand if one fails to pick a side
At the very least when the Word is told at the very leastwhen the world was warned
Poem by Udiah
Analysis
This poem relates to To Kill a Mockingbird because it talks about how once something good happened to the Finches something bad always happened. Atticus being elected State Legislature then Jem gets caught at Mr. Radleys. He gets picked to defend Tom Robinson. Atticus was doing good at the Tom Robinson trial, but he still got majority vote guilty. Atticus always knew how to kkep things possitive though whenever scout got really mad he calmed her down, and whenever things looked bad things always got better, so even though to much good may be bad there is still a fine line on where they both are evuivalent.
Isolation
Isolation, there's no one around, isolation, all alone
Out in the boondocks, out in the empty fields
So far from town. So far from civilization
Isolation, out on his own, isolation out all alone
With no one around him, with nobody there
And without a home. And without a home
Isolation, like a hermit of old, isolation like a hermit of old
Barefoot in summer, bare foot in summer
And in winter so cold. And winter is so sad
Isolation, with a stone cold face, isolation with a sad face
He's said his good-byes, he’s said bye
To the whole human race. To the whole world
Isolation, he'll die in the wild, isolation he’ll die all alone in the wild
With no one to mourn him, no one to feel sorry for him
Poor lonely child. Poor lonely child

Juan Olivarez
This poem relates to the whole book like Tom Robinson being isolated from the town in a jail cell because he supposedly raped Mayella Ewell and was then put in another jail after the case he didn’t get to see many people at all. Atticus was isolated because he decided to defend Tom Robinson and believed that Mayella didn’t actually get raped. He believes that she got beat by her father and for lying since everybody knew she was she was isolated too. These people all relate to this poem because they kind of get put away from a lot of people, and lose a lot of friends.
