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
