The Color of Their Skin

The Color Of Their Skin

I don’t care about
the color of their skin
diversity can ascertain

to lessen tribes as time goes by
it’s alien to look alike
as if no colors did exist

that human nature has a voice
expounding words that define you
a bastion from the outer realm

of racism and discord
so chose your colors to embrace
your character of love and bliss
