Our inner city ghetto’s fail to offer any hope
An economy that’s sadly based on robberies and dope
Though businesses and industries won’t dream of moving in
Bigots base perceptions on the color of one’s skin
A little education could just help your racist cult
All colors in this circumstance would yield the same result
You hide behind your keyboards, spreading hate like racists do
Attempting to conceal the truth about the inner you
The blackness in your heart implies an ugliness throughout
Your policies of ignorance remove the slightest doubt
Seems stereotyping comments are the only things you spew
Let’s pray that any kids you spawn aren’t anything like you
Since the seeds of all your “wisdom” never bloom to something better
You’re creating tension like a lender to a debtor
So before you let your hatred steer more conversations south
How about you maybe put some “shut up” in your mouth

Merriam Webster - Word of the day: Tranche refers to a division or portion of a whole. World Contact Day is commemorated every year on March 15. It is a unique observance held globally to focus on communicating with extraterrestrial life and exploring the possibility that intelligent beings may exist beyond Earth. World Contact Day inspires people to invoke their curiosity and spend time thinking about the universe and the mysteries surrounding it. What is the “Ides of March”? According to the Roman calendar, the Ides are a monthly occurrence. In March and other months with 31 days, the Ides always falls on the 15th; it falls on the 13th in months with 30 days. The Ides traditionally marked the arrival of the new Moon and was cause for celebration. The word “Ides” is derived from Latin, meaning “to divide.” Mothering Sunday in 2026 falls on Sunday, March 15. Mothering Sunday, celebrated in the United Kingdom and Ireland, occurs on the fourth Sunday of Lent, which is exactly three weeks before Easter. Unlike the fixed-date Mother's Day in countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia, Mothering Sunday’s date changes each year according to the Christian liturgical calendar. On March 15, 2026, several notable observances and events are celebrated: Dumbstruck Day: A day to express frustration. Everything You Think is Wrong Day: A day to challenge and celebrate wrong beliefs. International Day Against Police Brutality: A day to raise awareness and advocate against police violence.
