Bias Race

Human kind, population of many kinds 
Each stake claim over dominant race 
Bias race to think one is better than other 
That their idea be any different than yours 
Because it is not same of yours  
Is it so much that you be right 
Or learning experience to a better way 
A way of change, even our hearts need looking 

Hatred discontent, for your own life chose 
Person we grown to be we except 
With perception, we all seeing life same 
Dreams of make believe come reality 
Bias race, is it your life you follow 
Or world in demand for a solution 
It only be our own desire our guilt 

Heart as wicked as soul of man 
We kill for skin, robbing a life dignity 
We earn respect, loyalty bought mere pennies 
What is it we become the trash you street 
We see man hungry, greed we feel 
His rags rip by life circumstances 
It is not we choose our color by choice 
But by one's demeanor their character carry 
 
The importance of the being truth be seen 
Only in eyes of beholder bias race 
One can not love another without first loving yourself 
Has life destroyed perspective you had 

What is it racism lives but in ourselves 
That we hate another cause not who they are 
Is white a minority, all dark skins 
Should I fear the color or the man 
Makes no difference, one as bad as other 
But except skin, we are still same 
Bias race, not just color but foreigners way 
It's not our land we trample hearts 
But morals of being breathe for same air
