The Race.

Derision and torture Accepted Because of skin color A hateful scorning Beating down Such a beautiful heritage Never spoke as an equal As if less Somehow subhuman Yet thousands perished In the Blue’s and Gray’s Once momentary brothers For that common reverie Pure and devout Just freedoms gift…equality Such endured sufferings Still so many fear To walk with a prideful step Still holding to inferiority? Ask RFK or Dr. King They paid the truth for todays They’re spirits standing on high Washing away The ignorant eyes of prejudice For I have been generously rewarded I share this gift I see no colors amongst mankind White or Black Here or There Brown or Yellow Mountain or Desert We are all of one race…human.
