Colour

Black or white can you tell
Is it so important the colour of my shell
Its whats inside a person that really counts
For in my mind i have no doubts

Wars for many years started on such a day
Why must we judge one another in this way
All said and done we are all the same
Does it really matter from where we came

My blood is red the same as yours
Why don,t people think of this before
They say and do such nasty things
And the only thing this really brings

Is more hatred that will go on for generations
Is this what we really want as a nation?
Black or white bare this in mind
It does not take a lot to be kind
