I Was Just Thinking No 3

Tissue,pigmented black,brown or white, All equal in the creator's sight; However shaded,each membrane skin, Merely a cover,layered thin. Purely an accident of birth, Never a value of our worth; Cutoms,culture our true divide, Ignorance its willing guide. Tastes,mores,attitudes Provoking reponses,crude and rude; Manners,conventions,traditional ties, The crux upon which all difference lies. Repercussion and backlash,we reap If our thinking stays skin deep. re post inspired by Daniel's contest
