Exploring In Colors
Why do minorities refrain from exploring....?
Life in big cities are enough turmoil,
with racism and prejudice at a maximum boil,
Why would they venture out of their comfort zones
when they get treated badly at home?
Home is supposed to be where the heart is,
but "everyday people" treat each other like
garbage.
From police brutality to modern day lynchings,
eventhough it's the millenium,
smart minorities haven't any misgivings
or fantasies of life outside their world,
because it is well quarantined by those
who feel superior.
When they feel threatened
everything gets blown out
of proportion as if outsiders
have cholera,
Although, the world is for everyone,
respect and decency are only given to
a priviledged few,
Why would minorities want to make themselves fools?
