How Can You Think That

Why would you say that?
Why would you think along those lines? Why would you feel that?
Why would you say that to this lady, this woman, this mother and her child?

How can you think that?
How can you see that through your eyes? How can you feel that?
How is your heart made up of hate and lies?

This lady is human, she is just like you of humankind. Her skin may be different but she has feelings, loves and smiles.

Her skin may be different but her blood still bleeds the same. 
I maybe the same colour as you but all you do is bring it shame.

Dear Heart-WishkobeOde. I just can’t understand why colour of skin makes anybody different in being a human being
