Walk With Me.

You look at me like an outcast Mark me because the color of my skin Persecuted me without fear or judgment I am a shadow of your own perception. Equality has no witness And your arrogance hurts me more I have to passed your rooted standard Although; my presence causes you bitterness I beg you to walk with me And search my quest and odyssey in time And maybe you will find yourself In my dwelling house of pain In my path you will find Many dictators with hurtful heart That had caused pain and fear In many innocent life Come and crawl underneath my skin And tell me, How you feel! Are you surprise? Cause we are the same And yet not unified

the bitterness of race ... sad but true. the necessity for race or any other means of sorting is just plain ugly! in my world i only see "oneness of all mankind." please keep sending out your message, which is our message. thank you, chuck
