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.
