Black and White

Why is black always bad and white always right?

And an eye for an eye just cripples your sight

If He made us in his image, then why not the same?

Are we all God’s children or just Abel and Cain?

You are brothers in arms when he fights for your freedom

But when he walks your streets he's just some kind of demon

But reconciliation lives on a two way street

Harmony and peace would be no mean feat

Prejudice and racism leave a dark septic hole

There's no room in Heaven for an infected soul
