Call it hypocrisy
Learn early
To shed the color of your skin
Something you’ve been given
Try to walk out of and not stay in
And call it hypocrisy
It’s whispered
To be yourself
And no one else
Judgement standards
Are not callous
But no hypocrisy
Pit yourself
Against the whales
Hoping gentle giants
Don’t swallow the frail
But don’t’ call it hypocrisy
Live with pain
Use it to paint a smile
It’s all it takes
To go the extra mile
Otherwise
It’s just hypocrisy
See the litter
All sorts of colors
Adorable and cute
Check humans by odor
Then call it hypocrisy
