Choices

The melanin in my skin
Offend you
I ask why
Is there an answer
That could overshadow
The ignorant through
You let consume you
within your mind
Its sicking energy
Cold-hearted
A devil thought
To drag you to the darkness of hate
The difference can offend you
To compares people and things
Love can heal you
With understanding
There to side to every thought
It is the choice to live in the hate
Then to understand with love
