Colors

Colors, colors, is all I hear and see but can you say what matters other than trivial matters about your ethnicity or your so called set. For Ignorance breeds violence As Violence breeds hate And hate paves the way for more hate and a sense of helplessness and sadness. Turning back a full circle to the ignorance you choose to embrace. You see it’s a never ending cycle But listen, But listen to this All Eyes are closed As Freedom screams in pain but one man open his eyes and answers to help Freedom screams again and again and still all eyes stay closed Now oppressions speaks and still no one opens their eyes Then again oppression speaks offering peace and all eyes open greeting him with welcoming arms. Don’t let bearers of false gift and hope cloud your judgment As freedom lay dying, oppression stands up right holding you, its weapon.
