Color Blind

COLOR BLIND




I thought it was over, though I could never understand




Why we can't walk down the street, holding different hands




'Can't walk side by side, have to have a divide



Sepreate fountains, Sepreate seats, treated as a disease 



This is not what God see in me



I'm a black beauty, yet treated as a black beast


My Caucasian friends has departed from me


Hello? the 1st amendment is not reachable


Trying to teach me things that not even teachable

 yet, the brains of our people are so knowledgeable

White and black really nothing different but the color


yet, many petty on me as if I could change my color



You stalk me as if I could change the weather


but you are more ignorant than I thuoht if you judge by color



Some could never fill my shoes I been through every scene

Time to wake up colors are not what they seem


What if colors were never discover 




We do the same things but why are we on different teams 




I wish black and whites could come together like martin seen in his dream




You hear me! but Seriously, you don't really know what i mean




You don't know the feeling,




I was scarred like a slave and still in the process of heeling




I still carry the whips on my back from being beat and viciously degraded 




but you wanna know what is crazy? I was born after slavery




Color blind...... in a world full of colors




Why do different races try to hurt one another




We both were birth by mothers, walk the same earth, eat alike



Yet why do I feel different




if you haven't notice, whats been going on, you haven't been paying attention




it's not what you did to me or what I've I done to you




We are differnet indivaluls you cant categorize a color




Rasicm will end in the end of ime




but as of now nothing is wrong with the world their just COLOR BLIND

The sad truth is racism is rooted deep and will truly go away but we can take it upon ourselves to not be color blind. I have friends from all specters' of the rainbow, different religious beliefs, cultures, classes, countries and we all get along just fine. Excellent piece.

I agree. I, to have friends of each race, though some is the pass act as they are embarrassed to claim me as a friend around certain people. I still have some that are truth loyal friends and we love one another. Thanks for taking the time to read as well as comment Mr Tim.
