Color

Society told me to call you white,

And by that they separate us by day and night.

We are one as sentient beings.

By that you should know that our souls, are not to be sold.

We are not animals put on display

We aren't ghosts- don’t act like you dont see me. Just because me and the are the same color dosent mean you have to treat me like it!

We stand proud and tall as a unit!

Color never really mattered to me.

Just feeling your aura and vibin’ eternally.

I am you and you are me.

My brown skin does not define who I am inside, so why continue to only see with our eyes?

Let's not be defined by what we look like.

Black or white.

Weight or height.. By faith or by bronze or by brains.

Let's be defined by our names.

The standards that have been set have been branded in our soul.

Teaching the future generations the hate the moment they step in the gate.

This shit is really getting old.

Let us love under the stars,

and accept who we are…

while forgetting about color.

Fill us with peace

In our hearts.
