Color of a Man's Character

The Color of a Man’s Character We all bleed And cleave to Those we leave We all smile when we are greeted And cry when we are mistreated Why do we choose to abuse others For the color of their skin? Why do we think that only Our own color should win? We’re all the same underneath We all deserve peace When we lay down to sleep Love one another while you can Show your son how to be gracious The color of a man’s character Is how he treats his fellow Man.
