Colors
What is black and white?
What if color wasn’t part of our site?
What if our race wasn’t the main reason for the hate
That exist in this time and space that we live in
I didn’t ask to be biracial it was given to me
Always confused cause I had to pick a side, what are
You black or white? Scratching my head because I don’t
Know what to decide, see in my eyes we are all connected
Because we are all human
I mean look at Mike Brown
Look at Treyvon
If there was no color would that case
Stay on the T.V every night?
If there was no color would it have an impact
On wrong and right?
Look past the color of someone’s skin
We all have a heart, we all have eyes
We all have fun, we all cry,
Then eventually our bodies fall apart and we die.
If you look at it we are all the same.
We are just little pawns in this blame game of color
And culture.
Yeah life can be ugly but I feel if we work together
We could create a beautiful sculpture
Violence isn’t the reason why we cant breathe,
The reason why we cant breathe is because we have yet
To achieve peace with each other its crazy
How we leave when we need one another
It’s crazy how we can turn the other cheek and laugh at racial slurs
I’m just here to speak my behalf
But in order to make a change it takes
More than words.
