A Shade of Human

so this poem is based solely on the title and its interpretations

so the obvious one is racism
do the blind only see the sound

if you take it like colour
as in shades of pink
is shade just a lesser human
like a lesser red
deeper tones have stronger faith love hate

what if shade is the shadow
we blight on nature

What if it was a shade actually made of skin
sorry thats the serial killer coming out of me

or maybe just a lampshade owned by all humanity
dont listen to him hes a nutter

what if theres a lettet missing
maybe its
an shade of human
naw that disney sound right

A shoop of sheep
a faith of leaps

maybe Christian takes on humanity
the first of 50

maybe its that darkness
that blobs and muds
and splutters
from the pits abyss
that pulls inside

what if it has no meaning
until you give it one
