Poem
My friend had said Oh! Father What color My eyes my skin's shades Of many MELATONIN (what) I have a white mother And yet my father's black From what am I What race am I They say they hate you for the color of your skin and that you're not like them Nationality I be if my father's shade And my mother's White then what am I What am I if my great-great great great grandmother was raped By a white slave owner like "MJ said doesn't matter if you're black or white" It's about your heart's content For let us rally together you and I And the Father of Heaven They say they hate you for the color of your skin and that you're not like them Let us be his people His children all colors And let all faces of all races of all earth spaces Love In spite of our different colors Let's send nature's discrimination and prejudice Be put down for in the endless stand Before his miscued wrong choices Stifle are golden voices Our faces chard and Miss figured Those bad races caucasians calling us n****** They say they hate you for the color of your skin and that you're not like them We the people who are on the color of blue in the range of purple gray bronze black How would you feel now if you're family member Was the same color as the one you hate most Realize this we are many different talents There are many different shades We should be just God's children and Together be sisters and brother And be well behaved for our creator Father is the creator of all colors And it doesn't matter what shade we are Or even though God is creator of all God is more than just a color God For the rainbow is his promise to us all But yet and still the evil one the hate the color of my tone they say they hate you for the color of your skin and that you're not one of them 2/2/22 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr © 2022
