Humanoid

Dark eyes with darker pupils staring here Glazed over with a prejudice within They look with venom, wonder, hope, and fear They’re not guilty- just victims of the sin Deep wounds with deeper anger caught inside Red blood slides down to join the tears and sweat Caught in the dark, there’s still no place to hide The ship sails on an ocean of regret White sails with whiter masters lead the way Though every shade had captained SS Hate Many the trips and many the people with no say As time plows on toward wealth or death or fate The scars of violence stain our history Why are we our own greatest enemy?
