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.
